Kevin Cawley (born 17 March 1989) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Alloa Athletic.

Career

Born in Glasgow, Cawley started his career at Celtic, where he was a high goal scorer for their reserve side.

After being released by Celtic in 2009, Cawley signed for Ayr United on a one-year contract.[1] Cawley made his debut for the Honest Men on 25 July 2009 against Albion Rovers in the Challenge Cup. In March 2010, Cawley was loaned out for a month to Stranraer (in the Third Division) to get some match practice.[2]

In June 2011 he signed for Alloa Athletic.[3] After four years with Alloa, Cawley signed for Scottish Championship rivals Dumbarton.[4] He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 friendly win over Hearts.[5] His first competitive goal came in a 1–1 draw with East Fife in the Scottish League Cup on 1 August 2015[6] He was released in May 2016,[7] subsequently re-signing for recently relegated Alloa Athletic.[8]

Nickname

Due to his small stature, some Alloa Athletic fans have compared Cawley to the clubs top goalscorer for a single season Willie Crilley, referring to him as 'The Mighty Atom' – a term which Wasps fans of the 1920s also used for Crilley.
