Hugh Norman Davidson (born 3 August 1980 in Dundee) is a former Scottish footballer.
Career
Having been developed as a player through Dundee United's youth scheme, Davidson made his debut in the 1999-00 season. Davidson made 23 league appearances in his first season, mostly from the start, although he failed to score from his right midfield position. The following season, he made only eleven league appearances, and despite scoring his first league goal, would not feature again in the United first team. Davidson spent all of 2002 on loan at Raith Rovers and Stirling Albion, and it was no surprise when he moved away permanently to Forfar Athletic in time for the 2003-04 season. Davidson spent two seasons at Station Park before moving to Arbroath for the 2005-06 season. In January 2006, he moved again, this time to Montrose, where he is the club's current longest-serving player. In January 2009, Davidson signed a contract extension until 2011.
Retirement
At the end of the 2010/11 season, Davidson announced his retirement from football.[1]
