Stephen McLaughlin (born June 14, 1990) is an Irish footballer who currently plays in left midfield with League of Ireland club Derry City FC.[1]
[edit] Career
McLaughlin began his career at his local club St. Mary's, and played all his underage football for the club. In 2006, he signed for Clonmany Shamrocks senior side of the Inishowen Football League, and was successful during his first spell in senior football.
After appearing in League and Cup finals for Clonmany, McLaughlin was snapped up by Finn Harps, and played for their Under 20 and A Championship sides upon arrival. He was then called into the first-team, and went on to play several games for the club in the 2008-09 season. He was then assigned the no. 7 jersey for the 2009-2010 campaign, with manager James Gallagher using McLaughlin right across the midfield and front-line.
He signed for Derry City F.C. after the 2009-2010 season, after impressing in games against Derry at both Finn Park and the Brandywell. The move was touted at the end of the season, with McLaughlin signing terms with Stephen Kenny's side in January 2010. He wears the no. 15 shirt for the Candystripes.
