Chris Innes (born 13 July 1976) is a Scottish footballer who is currently without a club.

Career

Broxburn-born Innes started his senior career at Stenhousemuir after joining the Warriors from Blackburn United in 1996 and moved to Kilmarnock for £50,000 in 1998. In 1999, he went out on loan twice, to St. Mirren for 3 months and to Falkirk for just over a week. In 2003, he moved Dundee United where he played exactly fifty times.

Innes signed for Gretna on a free transfer in 2005. Although he missed out on United's Scottish Cup final appearance that season as he had already left for Gretna, Innes made it the following season when the Borderers were runners-up against Hearts. Innes was made captain of the rising team from the borders and helped the side gain promotion from the Scottish Third Division to the Scottish Premier League. After a season of bad results and financial difficulties for Gretna, Innes was made redundant on 25 March 2008. Gretna's reason for releasing their captain was because he had "attracted interest from other clubs".[1]

One of those clubs was New York Red Bulls of MLS, whom Innes trained with in April 2008. However, he decided against a move to America after failing to settle and returned to Scotland after two weeks, with St. Johnstone and Dunfermline Athletic amongst several clubs keen to sign him.[2] In June 2008, Innes was thought to be near completing a move back to Tayside with Dundee,[3] but Livingston announced on their website in July 2008 that he had signed for them.[4] On 31 July 2009, Innes left Livingston to re-sign for St. Mirren.

St Mirren

Innes scored his first St Mirren goal against Hibernian FC on 21 November 2009 and netted his second for the club against Kilmarnock FC on 2 January 2010. His third goal for Saints came against Aberdeen on 12 January, resulting in a 1–0 win, just a week after his second, ramming in a volley from an Andy Dorman corner. He became known for his fearless challenges and a reliable defender.

On 10 June 2010, St Mirren announced that Innes was to leave the club when his contract expired.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle

Innes joined newly promoted SPL side Inverness Caley Thistle for the 2010–11 season on 20 July 2010, ahead of interest from former team Kilmarnock, Dundee and Falkirk. At the end of the 2010/11 season Innes announced he would be leaving the club due to wanting to spend more time with his family in Edinburgh.

East Fife

Following his departure from Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Innes had trial period at East Fife playing for them in a Scottish Second Division fixture against Brechin City.[5] However he decided against joining them permanently as he wanted to join a full-time club.[6]

Arbroath

On 8 February 2012, Innes signed for Scottish Second Division side Arbroath until the end of the season. The deal was confirmed by manager Paul Sheerin via Twitter. He then left the club after this deal expired in May 2012.
