[edit] Career
Quigley came to prominence as a schoolboy with noted Dublin club Belvedere[1] from where he signed for Millwall in 2003. He spent the 2005 season at Shamrock Rovers (on loan) where he made a total of 12 appearances under Roddy Collins.
Mark signed for St. Patrick's Athletic in 2006 and made a huge breakthrough during the 2007 season. He ended the campaign as second top scorer in the league and was voted PFAI Young Player of the Year.[2] He was also called up to the Republic of Ireland Under 23 squad for the game against Northern Ireland and reportedly impressed the watching national coach Giovanni Trappatoni.[3]
He scored three goals for St. Pat's during their 2008 UEFA Cup campaign.
After 148 appearances for St. Pats in all competitions, Quigley moved to Dalymount Park and Bohs' in time for the 2010 season.[4]
Quigley made a slow start to his Bohs career and it was May 8 before he netted his first league for the club when scoring the winner against Sligo Rovers.[5] Despite playing as a forward for most of his career, Pat Fenlon decided to use Mark as a winger and this played a part in a strike rate of only 4 goals in 34 league appearances for the Gypsies. When his contract expired at the end of the 2010 season, Quigley was released by Bohemians.
[edit] Dundalk
On 4 December 2010 he signed for Dundalk along with fellow Bohemians team mate Jason Byrne in a one year deal.[6]
[edit] Sligo Rovers
Quiqley signed for Sligo Rovers on 14 December 2011, to fight for a place alongside Danny North.[7]
