Cillian Sheridan (born 23 February 1989) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a forward.

Contents

Sheridan began his career with Celtic in 2006, but a lack of first team opportunities saw him being loaned to other Scottish clubs. In 2010, he switched clubs and countries joining CSKA Sofia of Bulgaria, from where he was loaned to Scottish side St Johnstone in 2011. After playing for Kilmarnock between 2012 and 2013, he signed for defending Cypriot champions APOEL. In both his seasons with the club, he won the double. Subsequently, he moved to rivals Omonia.

After stints in Poland, New Zealand and Israel, Sheridan returned to Scotland with Dundee for two injury-plagued seasons. In 2023 he signed a short term deal with Inverness Caledonian Thistle until early 2024, and spent the remainder of the season with Queen's Park where he enjoyed a return to form.

He earned three international caps for the Republic of Ireland in 2010.

Club career

Early years

Born in Bailieborough, County Cavan, [1] Sheridan grew up playing Gaelic football for Bailieborough Shamrocks. [3] He began playing the association code with Bailieboro Celtic before travelling to Dublin to play for Belvedere, where he received call-ups for Irish youth squads. [4] During his time at Belvedere, Sheridan chose to focus on his football career, having turned down an offer to join Australian rules club Brisbane Lions. [5] [6] He had trials with several clubs before being offered a contract by Scottish Premier League club Celtic, which he accepted. [5]

Celtic

After joining Celtic in the summer of 2006, Sheridan was promoted to the reserve team and then the first team squad during his first season at the club, a "spectacular rise" according to coach Joe McBride. [7]

He made his first team debut for Celtic in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals against Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 25 February 2007, as a 73rd-minute substitute for Mark Wilson in a 2–1 away victory. [8] He signed a new three-year contract with the club two days later. [9] On 20 May 2007, the final game of the season, he made his league debut against Hibernian, playing the final two minutes of a 2–1 defeat at Easter Road in place of Craig Beattie. [10] Sheridan made his European debut on 21 October 2008, coming on as a substitute for Scott McDonald in Celtic's Champions League game against Manchester United at Old Trafford. [11] He also started in the return game at Celtic Park on 5 November 2008, a 1–1 draw. [12] Just four days after his European debut, Sheridan made his first league start against Hibernian, scoring the second goal of a 4–2 win. [13]

Loan moves

On 2 February 2009 Sheridan signed for Motherwell on loan until the end of the season, to replace Chris Porter, who had signed for Derby County the previous day. [14] He made his debut five days later, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 draw with St Mirren in the Scottish Cup. [15] He made his first start and league debut a week later on Valentine's Day in Motherwell's 1–0 win over Hamilton, playing the entire 90 minutes as his strike partner David Clarkson scored the only goal of the game. [16] Sheridan scored his first league goal for The Well a fortnight later, the winner in a 2–1 victory at Inverness. [17] [18] His only other goal for Motherwell came near the end of the season in a 3–0 win over Hamilton. [17]

On 13 August 2009, Sheridan joined Plymouth Argyle on a six-month loan deal. [19] He made his debut in a 1–1 draw against Queens Park Rangers. [20] [21] He played 14 times for the Championship team but failed to find the net. [22]

Sheridan completed his loan spell at Plymouth and returned to Celtic on 14 January 2010. Later the same day he was again loaned out, this time to St Johnstone for the rest of the season.

[28] On 25 September, Sheridan scored twice in a 2–0 win against Montana. [29] Changes of management, however, made it difficult for Sheridan to settle in Bulgaria. [30]

Trials in the United States and loan to St Johnstone

[35] He made his second St Johnstone debut on 23 July against Aberdeen, [36] and scored his first two goals of his second stint with the club against Hearts on 25 September. [37] Sheridan scored four goals in 15 appearances before he was prevented from playing by a hamstring injury.

[43] The following week, he scored a hat trick at Tynecastle in 3–1 victory over Hearts. After the match, teammate Manuel Pascali compared Sheridan comparison to former Kilmarnock striker Conor Sammon [44] On 17 October 2012, Sheridan scored against his former club Celtic in a 2–0 win at Parkhead. [45] Sheridan continued his goalscoring form into the second half of the season, but then suffered a hamstring injury which ruled him out for several weeks. [46] During Sheridan's injury absence Kilmarnock signed Kris Boyd, and even after recovering from injury, Sheridan struggled to regain his first team place. [47]
