Declan McDaid (born 22 November 1995 in Greenock) is a Scottish football player for Scottish Premiership side Partick Thistle. McDaid started his career as a youth player at Greenock Morton, before being promoted to the club's first team in April 2013. However, McDaid left the club a short time later and signed for (then) Scottish First Division side Partick Thistle in June 2013.
Club career
Greenock Morton
McDaid made his debut for Greenock Morton on 6 April 2013, coming on as a late substitute in a 5-2 victory over Airdrie United.[2] He chose to reject an offer of a full-time contract with the club and left in 2013.[3]
Partick Thistle
McDaid joined newly promoted Scottish Premiership club Partick Thistle on 21 June 2013, initially to play for Thistle's under 20 squad.[4]
Just after 20 seconds of coming on as a substitute against St Mirren, McDaid assisted Christie Elliot to a goal in the seventy-fifth minute. Thistle eventually won the game 1-0.
On 18 February 2015, McDaid signed a new contract, keeping him at Partick Thistle until the summer of 2017.[5]
International career
McDaid was first called into the Scotland Schools U18 squad in 2013 after his performances in the Morton reserve side which finished second in the SFL Reserve League.[6]
McDaid would start all four games in the Centenary Cup, and score against the Auld Enemy (England) at McDiarmid Park.[7]
