Coventry City

Born in Coventry, West Midlands, Christie began his career as a trainee at Coventry City in 1995. He made his FA Premier League debut on 23 September 1995, appearing as a second-half substitute for Paul Cook in Coventry's 5–1 defeat away to Blackburn Rovers. [2] He made one further appearance, in the League Cup before joining AFC Bournemouth on loan in November 1996, followed by a loan spell with Mansfield Town from February 1997.

Mansfield Town

He joined Mansfield Town on a free transfer in August 1997 and made over 90 league and cup appearances for Mansfield in two seasons. He joined Leyton Orient for a fee of £40,000 in July 1999, and made over 60 league and cup appearances for Orient in three seasons, before returning to Mansfield Town in August 2002. [3] He made over 70 appearances in his second spell at Mansfield but was released by the club after defeat in the Third Division play-off Final in May 2004. [4]

In 1997, he scored a four-minute hat-trick against Stockport County in a League Cup first-round tie. This remains the record for the fastest League Cup hat-trick.[ citation needed ]

During this period he scored 6 goals in 15 games, including playing against Premier League side Fulham in the FA Cup.

Following a successful trial, Christie returned to The Lambs. [19]

In the second qualifying round of the 2014–15 FA Cup on 27 September 2014, Christie scored six times against Ellistown & Ibstock United as Halesowen Town advanced to the third qualifying round of the FA Cup with a 7–1 win. [20]
