Early life

Iain attended Mackie Academy in Stonehaven, where he lived before his footballing career began.

Club career

Early career

Vigurs played for Stonehaven Youth under 9s, scoring over 50 goals in his only season.

Vigurs started his playing career in the youth team of Aberdeen and then was signed by Celtic.

Professional career

Vigurs played for Elgin City in the Third Division, playing over 20 times after making his debut aged 15. He then signed for Inverness Caledonian Thistle and signed a two year contract extension with Caley Thistle in May 2008.

He made his home debut for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in May 2008 in a 6–1 win over Gretna. He assisted Ross Tokely's goal and then a minute later scored a goal for himself with a volley.[1]

Manager Craig Brewster hinted that the player could feature more in the first team in the next season, although, despite scoring a spectacular goal against Partick Thistle in the Scottish Cup, this did not prove to be the case. As a result he signed for Ross County in June 2009.

He received the SFL Young Player of the Month award for August 2009 and scored a back heel against his old club (Inverness Caledonian Thistle) in his first Highland Derby which Ross County won 3–1.

International career

Vigurs has represented Scotland at under-19 level.
