Career

Easton was a product of Dundee United's youth system and made his first-team debut for United in May 2006, as a substitute in the 1–1 draw against Motherwell on the final day of the 2005–06 SPL season. The following season, Easton made a further seven appearances, with one start in May 2007. Earlier, in January 2007, Easton began training with Raith Rovers in preparation for a loan move,[1] although no move materialised.

On 28 August 2007, Easton moved on loan to Stirling Albion, making his debut in the 2–0 defeat by Heart of Midlothian in the CIS Cup match that same day. He returned to Dundee United at the end of 2007 and was released from his contract a few days later.[2] On 6 January 2008, Easton joined Ayr United.[3]
