Iain Davidson (born 14 January 1984) is a Scottish professional footballer and currently plays for Highland Football League side Brechin City, in his second spell at the club. Davidson mainly plays as a defensive midfielder but can also be played in the defence. He has previously played for Brechin City, Scarborough, two spells at Raith Rovers and Dundee.

Career[]

Davidson started his career on the books of Sunderland, but was released in 2003. He headed back to Scotland to sign with part-timers Brechin City, but only lasted six games at Glebe Park before heading back to England to play a couple of games with Scarborough.

Upon his release from the now defunct Yorkshire side, Davidson returned to his home town of Kirkcaldy to sign for Raith Rovers. Despite having his injury troubles, Davidson was appointed team captain.[1]

Davidson signed a one-year contract with Dundee in June 2012.,[2] where he spent 3 seasons.

On 14 May 2015, Davidson was released from Dundee alongside teammate Jamie Reid by mutual consent.[3] On 8 August 2015, it was announced that Davidson had signed back at Raith Rovers.[4] On 15 July 2020, it was announced Davidson had signed for another season, his 14th with the club.[5] Davidson left Raith Rovers in May 2021, at the end of the season, the third player to have played over 500 games for the club.[6]

In June 2021, Davidson returned to Brechin City, now in the Highland Football League.[7]
