A right full-back, McEwan has played in the Scottish Football League First Division for Raith Rovers and Ayr United and is a former Scotland under-21 international.

Career

McEwan began his career with Clyde. His string of good performances alerted other clubs, and he was transferred to Raith Rovers in 1997. After three years in Kirkcaldy, McEwan moved to Ayr United, where he would stay for the next two seasons. Three years with Dumbarton followed, before a two-year spell with Brechin City. He left Brechin in January 2007 to join Stenhousemuir in a swap deal with David Murie.

McEwan dropped to Junior level with Linlithgow Rose in February 2009 then had a spell at Pollok in 2010 before joining Glenafton Athletic in November the same year.[4][5]

In October 2014, McEwan took on his first managerial position at Arthurlie, however he returned to take charge of former club Glenafton three months later.[6][7]
