Career[]
After spending time with Kirkintilloch Rob Roy and Stenhousemuir, Anderson moved to Hamilton Academical in June 2011.[1][2] Anderson debuted for the Accies on 23 July 2011 in the Scottish Challenge Cup,[3] before making his SFL debut for the club a fortnight later.[4] In March 2012, Anderson was sent out on loan to Stenhousemuir, alongside Kieran Millar.[5] In May 2012, Anderson was released by the Lanarkshire club, after his return from a loan spell in Larbert.[6]
In June 2012, Anderson joined Raith Rovers.[7] After four seasons at Stark's Park, which included the winning goal in the Scottish Cup,[8] Anderson signed for fellow Scottish Championship club Queen of the South on a one-year contract on 14 June 2016.[9] On 20 January 2017 and after only half a season, Anderson departed Queens by mutual consent,[10] subsequently signing for Scottish League One club Peterhead until the end of the 2016–17 season.[11][12] In March 2017 he became a qualified referee.[13] He was released at the end of the season following the club's relegation to Scottish League Two.[14] After leaving Peterhead, Anderson moved to the opposite side of the country, signing for Scottish League One club Stranraer on 15 June 2017.[15]
He returned to Raith Rovers in June 2019.[16]
Kelty Hearts announced the signing of Anderson on 20 October 2020.[17][18] He moved to Forfar Athletic on 1 February 2021.[19]
