Career

Innes was born on 13 July 1976, in Broxburn, West Lothian, Scotland. He started his career at Stenhousemuir after joining the Warriors from Blackburn United in 1996 and moved to Kilmarnock for £50,000 in 1998. In 1999, he went out on loan twice, to St Mirren for 3 months and to Falkirk for just over a week. In 2003, he moved Dundee United where he played exactly fifty times.

Innes signed for Gretna on a free transfer in 2005. Although he missed out on United's Scottish Cup final appearance that season as he had already left for Gretna, Innes made it the following season when the Black and Whites were runners-up against Hearts. Innes was made captain of the rising club from the borders and helped the side gain promotion from the Scottish Third Division to the Scottish Premier League. After a season of bad results and financial difficulties for Gretna, Innes was made redundant on 25 March 2008. Gretna's reason for releasing their captain was because he had "attracted interest from other clubs". [1]

One of those clubs was New York Red Bulls of MLS, whom Innes trained with in April 2008. However, he decided against a move to the U.S. after failing to settle and returned to Scotland after two weeks, with St Johnstone and Dunfermline Athletic amongst several clubs keen to sign him. [2] In June 2008, Innes was thought to be near completing a move back to Tayside with Dundee, [3] but Livingston announced on their website in July 2008 that he had signed for them. [4] On 31 July 2009, Innes left Livingston to re-sign for St Mirren.

St Mirren

Innes scored his first St Mirren goal against Hibernian on 21 November 2009 and netted his second for the club against Kilmarnock on 2 January 2010. His third goal for the Buddies came against Aberdeen on 12 January, resulting in a 1–0 win, just a week after his second, ramming in a volley from an Andy Dorman corner.

On 10 June 2010, St Mirren announced that Innes was to leave the club when his contract expired.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle

Innes joined newly promoted SPL club Inverness Caledonian for the 2010–11 season on 20 July 2010, ahead of interest from former club Kilmarnock, Dundee and Falkirk. At the end of the 2010–11 season Innes announced that he would be leaving the club due to wanting to spend more time with his family in Edinburgh.

East Fife

Following his departure from Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Innes had trial period at East Fife playing for them in a Scottish Second Division fixture against Brechin City. [5] However, he decided against joining them permanently as he wanted to join a full-time club. [6]

Arbroath

On 8 February 2012, Innes signed for Scottish Second Division club Arbroath until the end of the season. The deal was confirmed by manager Paul Sheerin via Twitter. He then left the club after this deal expired in May 2012.

Season 2007–08 for Hibernian could be split into three distinct parts: a great unbeaten start to the Scottish Premier League season that temporarily took the club to the top of the league; a terrible middle phase which saw a long winless run and the resignation of John Collins as Hibs manager; and, finally, a modest recovery under the management of Mixu Paatelainen, who was appointed in January 2008. This took Hibs into the top half of the SPL, but short of third place and the UEFA Cup spot, which was won by Motherwell.

Season 2006–07 was a mixed season for Hibernian; their league form suffered from extended cup runs, and they eventually finished sixth. The reward for their cup form was a first trophy in 16 years, thrashing Kilmarnock 5–1 in the final to lift the CIS Cup. Hibs were knocked out of the Scottish Cup in a semi-final replay by Dunfermline.

Season 2008–09 for Hibernian was their tenth consecutive season of play in the Scottish Premier League. The SPL season began on 9 August 2008 with a 1–0 defeat at Kilmarnock. The team were eliminated from each cup competition at the first hurdle, due to defeats by IF Elfsborg in the last Intertoto Cup, Greenock Morton in the Scottish League Cup and Edinburgh derby rivals Hearts in the Scottish Cup. The team was inconsistent in the league, and only squeezed into the top six by a single point ahead of Motherwell. This led to the resignation of manager Mixu Paatelainen at the end of the season. One bright spot for the club was the performance of the under-19 team, which won the Scottish league & cup double.
