Kris Doolan (born 11 December 1986 in Irvine, North Ayrshire) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Partick Thistle in the Scottish Premiership.

Club career

Previously playing in the Junior leagues, Doolan was signed by Partick Thistle Manager Ian McCall on an 18 month deal from Auchinleck Talbot on 9 January 2009.[1][2]

Doolan was loaned out on 5 February 2010, to former rivals Clyde to help them try and avoid relegation to the Third Division.[3] After returning to Firhill, Kris struggled to cement his place in the starting eleven. However he subsequently scored a spectacular 92nd minute goal on the final day of the 2009–10 season against Queen of the South to give The Jags a 1–0 victory. Doolan was Thistle's top scorer in the 2010–11 season with 18 goals scored for the club [4]

International career

Doolan's form at Auchinleck Talbot was recognised by the Scottish Junior Football Association (SJFA) with his selection for the Umbro Quadrangular Tournament in 2008. He appeared in all three matches at the tournament and tallied one goal against Northern Ireland in a 4–3 victory.[5]
