Chris Maguire
Christopher Patrick Joseph Maguire (born 16 January 1989) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Scottish League One side Cove Rangers. He made two international appearances for Scotland in 2011.
Maguire made his debut for Aberdeen on 7 May 2006, coming on as a substitute in their final match of the 2005–06 season, where he set up John Stewart for the equaliser in a 2–2 draw against SPL champions Celtic. His first starting appearance in the senior team was on 26 December against Kilmarnock, where he also scored his first senior goal in the sixth minute.
The following season, Maguire scored some vital goals, including a 94th-minute winner in a thrilling 4–3 match against Inverness CT on 29 March 2008 and a brace in the 2–1 win over Falkirk five days later. On 16 July 2008, Maguire signed a three-year contract extension with the Dons.
In February 2009, having been regularly kept out of the starting eleven by first-choice striking pair Darren Mackie and Lee Miller, Maguire requested to go out on loan in search of regular first-team football. After this request was promptly turned down, Maguire scored two goals in Aberdeen's 5–0 Scottish Cup victory over East Fife.
During the January transfer window in 2010, Maguire moved on loan to Kilmarnock, reuniting him with former Aberdeen boss Jimmy Calderwood. On his debut against Celtic, he scored the only goal of the game to give Kilmarnock their first league win in eight games. Maguire's form after signing saw him win the Scottish Premier League Young Player of the Month award for February 2010. He scored 4 goals in 14 games to help Kilmarnock stay in the Scottish Premier League.
On 1 June 2011, it was announced Maguire would sign for English Championship side Derby County on the expiration of his Aberdeen contract, having agreed a three-year deal with Derby. The transfer was formally completed on 29 June when Derby agreed a compensation package with Aberdeen, speculated to be in the region of £400,000. Maguire's first start, and first goal, came on 29 October, in a 3–1 win over Portsmouth. He was subsequently praised for his patience and work ethic by first-team coach Andy Garner, having been kept out of the team by the form of fellow strikers Jamie Ward, Theo Robinson and Steve Davies. However, he failed to cement a place in the first team, finding himself behind strikers Theo Robinson, Steve Davies, Jamie Ward and youth product Callum Ball. Maguire scored a hat-trick against Pinxton in a 4–0 win during the quarter-final of the Derbyshire Senior Cup.
On 9 March 2012, Maguire joined Championship strugglers Portsmouth on a month-long emergency loan. He wore the number 22 shirt during his time at Fratton Park. Maguire scored his first Portsmouth goal in his side's 4–1 victory over Birmingham City at Fratton Park on 20 March 2012. Maguire received praise from Portsmouth manager Michael Appleton for his role in a 2–0 win against Hull City on 27 March 2012 and hoped for an extension to his loan. After one month at Pompey, the club extended Maguire's loan until the end of the season. Maguire impressed for Portsmouth where he scored 3 goals in 11 appearances, and picked up the club's Player of the Month award in the game against parent club Derby County (a game which Maguire was ineligible to play in) on 21 April 2012, a game which saw Portsmouth relegated in a 2–1 defeat.
On 22 May 2012, Maguire was transfer-listed by Derby. Sheffield Wednesday, newly promoted to the Championship, had two bids rejected to buy Maguire in May 2012 but on 21 June 2012, they announced that Maguire had joined them on a three-year deal. He made his Owls debut in the 4–2 League Cup win over Oldham Athletic on 13 August. However Maguire had to wait until 16 March 2013 for another league appearance in the 0–2 defeat against Cardiff City. When right midfielder Michail Antonio was brought down and injured, Maguire came on as substitute. Maguire made his second league appearance, again as substitute, in the 2–1 victory against South Yorkshire rivals Barnsley. Maguire made a fourth appearance for the Owls in a 3–2 victory over Blackburn Rovers, replacing Jermaine Johnson in the 84th minute. Maguire came on as substitute and grabbed a late six-yard goal in the 92nd minute in his first goal for the Owls against Millwall in 2–1 away victory on 9 April 2013.
