[edit] Career

[edit] 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 Bournemouth on loan in November 1996, followed by a loan spell with Mansfield Town from February 1997.

[edit] 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]

[edit] Kidderminster Harriers

Christie signed for Kidderminster Harriers at the start of the 2004–05 season,[5] but injury restricted him to just one start and a handful of substitute appearances that season.[6]

[edit] Rochdale

In January 2006, after having scored 10 goals in 23 league games, he was sold to Rochdale along with teammate Mark Jackson for a joint £35,000 transfer fee.[7] In August 2006, Christie returned to Kidderminster on loan until December.[8]

[edit] Kidderminster Harriers

Following the completion of this loan spell Christie re-signed for Kidderminster on an 18 month contract in January 2007.[9]

[edit] Stevenage Borough

He joined Stevenage Borough when his contract with Kidderminster expired at the end of June 2008.[10] He made just three appearances for Stevenage, before joining fellow Conference National side Kettering Town on loan on 2 September 2008 until 17 January 2009. During this period he scored 6 goals in 15 games, including playing against Premier League side Fulham in the FA Cup.[11] It was believed this loan spell was to be ended early for a loan move to York City to go ahead,[12] but this deal fell through.[13]

[edit] Torquay United

On 31 December 2008 it was announced that Christie was to make his loan deal at Kettering permanent on 1 January 2009, in a five-figure deal.[14] However, on 2 February 2009 he left Stevenage to join Torquay United.[15]

[edit] King's Lynn

He signed for non-League King's Lynn in August 2009 after a short period on trial with Hibernians in Malta, following termination of the loan agreement with Torquay at the end of the 2008–09 season.

[edit] A.F.C. Telford United

On 11 September 2009, Christie signed for Conference North side A.F.C. Telford United, but left after two games.

[edit] Farnborough

He played one game for his local team Coventry Sphinx, before making his debut for Farnborough as an 80th minute substitute on 21 October.

[edit] Tamworth

On November 13, 2009, it was announced that Christie had joined Conference National side Tamworth on non-contract terms. On the same day he was joined by his former Kidderminster team mate Simon Brown, who joined the club on a one month loan deal from Wrexham.[16]

[edit] Kettering Town

After playing for Tamworth till the end of the 2009–10 season, he rejoined Kettering Town for their 2010–11 campaign.

[edit] Nuneaton Town

On 30 March 2011, Christie joined promotion chasing Conference North side Nuneaton Town until the end of the season.[17] Christie's first game for the club was a 3–0 away win at Gloucester City. Justin Marsden's goal came from a superb bit of individual guile and skill to beat two defenders by Christie before squaring the ball to Marsden to slot home.[18]

[edit] Tamworth

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