Club career
He joined Stirling Albion in the 2011 January transfer window until the end of the season.[1] On 7 May 2011 he scored his first league goals, when he scored twice as Stirling ended a 25-match winless streak with victory over Morton on the final day of the season.[2]
After leaving Rangers in 2011, Stirling dropped out of the senior game for a short time playing amateur football in Paisley, before returning to senior football with Stranraer. After scoring 12 goals in 26 league matches, Stirling signed a pre-contract agreement with First Division side Greenock Morton.[3] Stirling scored his first league goal for Morton when he drove in the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Raith Rovers.[4] Stirling missed the rest of the 2012-13 season injured with a broken leg sustained in a league match against Partick Thistle.[5] With him being out of contract in the summer of 2013, Stirling was given the summer to prove he had recovered from his injury by Allan Moore.[6]
After recovering from his leg break, Stirling was given a short-term deal in September 2013.[7] In January 2014, he was released from his contract[8] and returned to his former club Stranraer in January 2014. After eighteen months with the Scottish League One side, Stirling was released from his contract with the side.[9] Shortly after leaving Stranraer, Stirling signed for fellow League One side Stenhousemuir on a one-year contract.[10]
International career
Stirling has represented Scotland at Under-19 international level, playing in the 2009 UEFA U19 European Championship Elite Round.[11]
In total he received nine caps at U19 level, scoring five goals.[12]
