Career

Durnan started his career in the youth team of Clyde, before moving to St. Johnstone in 2008,[2] but in his time at St. Johnstone he failed to make a first team appearance for the club. While at St. Johnstone, he went out on loan a number of times, firstly in August 2010, when he moved to Arbroath.[3] The following season he was loaned to Stranraer on 23 August 2011, for one month[4] and on 11 January 2012, he joined Elgin City for the rest of the season.[5]

On 25 July 2012, Durnan signed for Second Division club Queen of the South, signing a one-year contract.[6] In his first season at the club, Queen of the South won the 2012–13 Scottish Second Division title[7][8] and the Scottish Challenge Cup.[9] On 19 April 2013, he signed a new one-year contract with the club.[10] At the end of the season, Durnan was one of six Queen of the South players named in the PFA Scotland 2012–13 Second Division Team of the Year.[11]

On 7 January 2014, Durnan extended his contract by a further year, until 2015.[12]
