[edit] Career
During his youth career, David's former teams include Denny BC, Riverside and Gairdoch United.[1]
Graham has spent his career so far entirely in Scotland, mostly in leagues below the SPL. He started his career as a striker for Stenhousemuir in 2001, for whom he scored 5 goals in 53 league appearances. He moved to Stanraer where he was much more prolific, scoring 33 goals in 52 appearances (a strike rate better than a goal every other game). From there he went to ambitious Gretna but he did not do as well as he scored just 6 goals in his 68 matches. He then moved to Hamilton Academical on loan before making this move permanent in 2007.
After a successful season with the Accies, which saw him help the club win promotion to the Scottish Premier League, Graham was awarded a new two-year contract.[2] In the January transfer window of 2009, Graham moved to Dunfermline Athletic.[3]
[edit] Personal life
His ex-girlfriend is the Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton.[4]
