Club career
Steve McColl originally was part of Edinburgh Rugby as an academy player where he had represented Scotland at U20 level, making four appearances in the 2008 Six Nations.
He left Scotland to join Doncaster Knights in the English RFU Championship. Whilst at Doncaster he finished the 2010-11 season with 13 tries in all competitions in 27 appearances having made the switch from centre to full-back. On 14 June 2011, McColl left Doncaster Knights to join Yorkshire Carnegie on a two-year contract.[1]
He was one of the best performers for Yorkshire Carnegie during his first season at the club during the 2011-12 season, although he was ruled out for three months after undergoing surgery on his shoulder, and only made just 13 first-team appearances. His second season he was in equally impressive form, with only injuries preventing him from being an ever present. He made his presence known whenever on the field and was a great addition to the team. At the end of the season he earned reward for his performances being named Players’ Player of the Season for the 2012-13 season, earning a place in the RFU Championship 'Dream Team' and signing a new contract with the club.
On 27 March 2014, Steve McColl makes his move to the Aviva Premiership as he signed for Gloucester Rugby from the 2014-15 season.[2]
