Karl Anthony Duguid (born 21 March 1978) is an English footballer who plays primarily as a midfielder for Colchester United.

He began his career with Colchester United and made his senior debut in 1995. He helped the club win promotion to the Second Division in 1998, via the play-offs, and the Championship in 2006, by which time he had been made captain. He joined Plymouth Argyle on a free transfer in 2008 and made 115 appearances in all competitions during his three years with the club, scoring 3 goals. Having been released by Argyle during the summer of 2011, Duguid returned to Colchester United on a one-year contract.

Career

Colchester United

Duguid signed for Colchester United at 16 years old, and was the club's longest serving player, until he was sold in 2008. He was rewarded with a testimonial match, as well as the club captaincy. He had served the club for 14 seasons and played a part in captaining the U's to the Championship in the 2005/2006 season.

Duguid has had some injuries, including a knee injury which ruled him out of the whole 2004–05 season. He returned as captain, playing a key role in achieving promotion to the Football League Championship, during the 2005–06 season. Duguid scored against rivals Ipswich Town on September 29, 2006 at Layer Road, one of his forty-five goals for the club.

Plymouth Argyle

On 24 June 2008, he ended his 14 year association with Colchester by signing a two year contract with Championship club Plymouth Argyle, for an undisclosed fee.[2] Duguid made his Argyle debut on 9 August 2008, starting the club's first league game of the 2008–09 season, aganist Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 2–2 draw. He soon became a fan favorite, and his first goal for the Pilgrims was a crucial one – it came at Watford in 2–1 win, giving Argyle their first win of the season.

Argyle played Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in an FA Cup 3rd Round tie on 3 January 2009. The hosts were 2–0 up after the break, but Duguid scored a consolation goal soon after, with Arsenal eventually winning 3–1. He began the 2009/10 season as a first-team regular once more and scored his second goal for the club against Newcastle United. At the end of the 2010–11 season, Duguid was one of nine first team players released by the club after being relegated to League Two.[3][4]

Return to Colchester

Having spent time back with Colchester United for pre-season training,[5] Duguid signed a one-year contract with the club on 20 July 2011.[6][7] "It was not something that was in our minds - mine or Karl's - when he came here to train at the start of pre-season," said manager John Ward. "But we've had a chat and agreed on a one year deal for Karl to bolster the squad."[6][8]
