Early life

After progressing through the various youth levels, Spark signed a professional contract with Dundee United in July 2012.[1] After impressing for the clubs's under-20 team, his contract was extended in November 2013 to run until May 2016.[2][3] Spark made his competitive first team debut as a substitute in a Premiership match against St Mirren on 30 August 2014.[4]

In February 2016, Spark moved on loan to Scottish League One side Forfar Athletic.[5] Spark was released by Dundee United at the end of the 2015–16 season, following their relegation from the Scottish Premiership.[6]
