He joined Clyde on 2 June 2008.[1] He made his Clyde debut in a 2-0 victory against Alloa Athletic in the Scottish Challenge Cup in August 2008.[2] Waddell's first goal for Clyde turned out to be the winning goal in a 3-2 victory over St. Johnstone on 30 August 2008.[3] Waddell's contract was terminated in June 2009, following Clyde's relegation and financial troubles.[4] He went on to rejoin Airdrie United.
