Career

Lister's career began in the Scottish Junior Leagues firstly at Oakley United,[3] then after moving in July 2007, at Camelon Juniors.[4]

In 2008, he moved up to the Scottish Football League for the first time, playing as a trialist for Stenhousemuir against Dumbarton on 18 March.[5] He then agreed to sign for Stenhousemuir at the end of the 2007–08 season.[6] However on 21 May 2008, it was announced that he had instead signed for Berwick Rangers.[7][8] He scored his first goal for Berwick on 4 October 2008, in a 1–1 draw against Elgin City.[9]

Lister then dropped back down into the Juniors, having being linked with a number of clubs,[10] before signing for Bathgate Thistle.[11] On 19 June 2010, he joined Second Division club Alloa Athletic[12] saying he had wanted the chance to return to senior football.[13]

After one season at Alloa, Lister moved to Brechin City on 31 May 2011.[14] One year later he moved clubs again, this time signing for First Division club Dumbarton.[15] At the end of the season Lister was voted Player of the Year by the Dumbarton supporters.[16]

On 11 May 2013, Lister signed for Airdrieonians.[17] At the end of the 2013–14 season he signed a new one-year contract.[18]
