Club career
Motherwell
Slane made his debut for Motherwell on 16 May 2009 in a league match away to Hamilton Academical. He was an 86th minute sub during the 3–0 win.[2]
Slane played in Motherwell's Europa League matches against Llanelli[3][4] and Flamurtari in the summer of 2009, scoring the third goal in the 8–1 second round second leg win over Flamurtari.[5][6] Slane was a trainee at Motherwell, but refused to sign a contract.[7] When he signed a contract with Celtic in February 2010, Slane was criticised by Motherwell chairman John Boyle for showing a lack of loyalty to the club.[7]
Celtic
On 1 February 2010, Slane signed a four-year contract with Celtic.[8] He made his reserve debut in a 4–1 win over Queen of the South's first team. Slane missed the entire 2010–11 season due to a cruciate ligament injury to his knee.[9]
On 31 January 2012, Slane signed with English League One club Milton Keynes Dons on loan until the end of the season.[10] Slane made his SPL debut for Celtic on Saturday 18 August 2012, as a substitute against Ross County.[9] He was loaned to Scottish First Division club Partick Thistle in October 2012.
