[edit] Career

[edit] Peterborough United

Having learned his trade at Scottish Premier League side Aberdeen as a youth player, the club he supported as a boy, he moved to Highland League side Cove Rangers. Coutts then joined Peterborough United on a three-year deal in July 2008 after impressing with his ball control during a trial period with the club, which involved playing an hour during each of two pre-season friendlies, against a Liverpool XI and Stevenage.[3] Coutts made his professional debut for Peterborough as a substitute in Peterborough's 5–4 win over Bristol Rovers, and had his first start the following game against local rivals Northampton Town. In Coutts' first season with Peterborough, he made 34 league appearances and 4 FA Cup appearances and gained promotion to the Coca-Cola Championship

[edit] Preston North End

Coutts signed a deal with Preston North End in January 2010 when former Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson was in charge at the central Lancashire club.
