Liam Caddis (born 20 September 1993) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Craigmark Burntonians, on loan from Darvel.

Caddis has previously played for St Johnstone, Arbroath, Cowdenbeath, Alloa Athletic, Ardrossan Winton Rovers, Stirling Albion and Hurlford United.

Club career

[edit]

After coming through the club's youth development system, Caddis turned professional and began playing for the club's reserve side.[1] After a season with the club, Manager Derek McInnes gave Caddis a chance in the first team and made his debut for St Johnstone in the friendly match in a 1–0 win over against Lisburn Distillery.[2] On 28 August 2010, at aged just 16, Caddis made his debut for the club, in a 2–1 loss against Rangers.[3]

After making his debut, Caddis signed a contract extension to keep him at the club until 2012.[4] McInnes was impressed with Caddis's "composure and ability", though he remained an un-used substitute for the rest of the season.[5]

On 24 November 2011, Caddis joined Scottish Second Division side Arbroath on loan until 5 January 2012.[6] He played his first match for Arbroath just two days later against Airdrie United in a 3–3 away draw.[7] His loan at Arbroath was later extended until the end of the 2011–12 season.[8] In March 2012 proved an impact for Caddis when he scored twice, in a 2–2 draw against East Fife[9] and then made double assist in the next match, on 10 March 2012, as they beat Dumbarton 2–0, to extend their eleven unbeaten games.[10]

After a loan spell with Arbroath came to an end, Caddis signed a one-year contract extension with St Johnstone.[11] Caddis made his first appearance since returning from a loan spell with Arbroath, in the third round of the Scottish League Cup, where he made an assist for the fourth round, in a 4–1 win over Queen's Park.[12] After another loan spell, Caddis signed another one-year contract extension at the end of the 2012–13 season.[13] Shortly after signing a new deal, Caddis was awarded the Barbossa Street Saints Young Player of the Year.[14]

In 2013–14, Caddis made his European debut in the first leg of their Europa League third qualifying round tie when he provided an assist for Steven MacLean, in a 1–0 win over Belarus side Minsk.[15] Having been ups and down in the first team at the start of the season, Caddis came on as a substitute in the 68th minute for David Wotherspoon and scored his first goal for the club, in a 2–1 loss against Celtic on 21 September 2013.[16] After making eight appearances for the club this season, Caddis, again, signed a one-year contract extension.[17]

He joined Cowdenbeath on loan in January 2013.[18] Caddis scored on his debut, in a 1–1 draw against Morton.[19] After making three appearances, Manager Steve Lomas initially agreed to let Caddis Cowdenbeath until the end of the season.[20] However, Caddis return to his parent club instead after it took too long for agreement on both parties.[21]

On 20 December 2013, Caddis signed a 28-day loan deal with Alloa Athletic[22] The following day, on 21 December 2013, Caddis made his debut for the club, in a 1–0 loss against Dundee.[23] After making four appearances so far, Caddis had his loan spell was extended until the end of the season on 17 January 2014.[24] Caddis scored his first goal for the club on 5 April 2014, as they beat Dumbarton 4–1.[25] Caddis left McDiarmid Park in February 2016 in search of regular football, after playing in only five matches during the 2015–16 season.[26] He signed for Alloa Athletic later that month.[27]

In July 2016, Caddis signed for Junior side Ardrossan Winton Rovers, joining his brothers Ryan and Dylan at the Ayrshire club.[28]

After just six-months with the Ardrossan Winton Rovers, Caddis signed for Scottish League Two side Stirling Albion.[29]

Caddis moved to Hurlford United.

In July 2020, he signed for Darvel.[30] Caddis was later loaned out to Craigmark Burntonians in December 2020.[31]
