Chris McGroarty (born 6 February 1981 in Bellshill) is a Scottish professional football player currently with Forfar Athletic in the Scottish Third Division.
McGroarty began his career with Scottish Premier League side Dunfermline Athletic, making his first team debut in the 1998–99 season. He was loaned out to Glasgow side Clyde in 2003 before moving to Paisley club St. Mirren one month later. At the end of the 2003–04 season, McGroarty was released by St. Mirren and was signed by Scottish Second Division side Dumbarton. After only 4 games with Dumbarton, McGroarty was signed by East Stirlingshire on a short-term contract.
At the end of McGroarty's contract with East Stirlingshire, he signed for Berwick Rangers and played 33 matches for them in the 2005–06 season, scoring five goals. He attracted attention from Stranraer and was signed at the start of the 2006–07 season, only to re-join Berwick in January of that season where he played five games. In May 2008, McGroaty was released from his contract with The Wee Gers[1] He subsequently signed for Scottish Third Division side Stenhousemuir a few days later, by doing that he became the first player that manager John Coughlin has signed during his time at three different clubs.[2]
McGroarty in July 2009 signed a short-term contract for Second Division side Brechin City before joining Forfar Athletic in October the same year. McGroarty signed for Glenrothes Juniors in 2010.
