Russell began his career in 1999 with Hamilton Academical, making over sixty league appearances over a four-year period. In 2003, Russell began a two-year spell with St. Mirren before moving to English side Macclesfield Town in early 2005. Russell's stay at Macclesfield lasted only a few months and he moved on to Mansfield Town at the start of the 2005–06 season.
A short spell with Forest Green Rovers followed before Russell's return to Scotland with Partick Thistle in January 2007. Russell began the 2007–08 season with Airdrie, where a December 2007 Player of the Month award and his goalscoring form – by February 2008 he had already scored more than any previous season – attracted interest from Scottish Premier League sides Kilmarnock and Dundee United.[1][2]
In May 2008, Russell netted the Scottish Football League Second Division Player of the Year award and was eventually signed by Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock signing a two-year deal.[3] He left Kilmarnock after the expiry of his contract in 2010.[4]
Russell signed for Carolina RailHawks on 23 July 2010.[5] He stayed with the club through the 2011 season.
Russell signed with Los Angeles Blues of the American USL Pro division on 8 December 2011.[6]
