Cillian Sheridan (born 23 February 1989) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a forward.
Sheridan began his career with Celtic in 2006, but a lack of first team opportunities saw him being loaned to other Scottish clubs. In 2010, he switched clubs and countries joining CSKA Sofia of Bulgaria, from where he was loaned to Scottish side St Johnstone in 2011. After playing for Kilmarnock between 2012 and 2013, he signed for defending Cypriot champions APOEL. In both his seasons with the club, he won the double. Subsequently, he moved to rivals Omonia.
After stints in Poland, New Zealand and Israel, Sheridan returned to Scotland with Dundee for two injury-plagued seasons. In 2023 he signed a short term deal with Inverness Caledonian Thistle until early 2024, and spent the remainder of the season with Queen's Park where he enjoyed a return to form.
He earned three international caps for the Republic of Ireland in 2010.
Club career
[edit]Early years
[edit]Born in Bailieborough, County Cavan,[1] Sheridan grew up playing Gaelic football for Bailieborough Shamrocks.[3] He began playing the association code with Bailieboro Celtic before travelling to Dublin to play for Belvedere, where he received call-ups for Irish youth squads.[4] During his time at Belvedere, Sheridan chose to focus on his football career, having turned down an offer to join Australian rules club Brisbane Lions.[5][6] He had trials with several clubs before being offered a contract by Scottish Premier League club Celtic, which he accepted.[5]
Celtic
[edit]After joining Celtic in the summer of 2006, Sheridan was promoted to the reserve team and then the first team squad during his first season at the club, a "spectacular rise" according to coach Joe McBride.[7]
He made his first team debut for Celtic in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals against Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 25 February 2007, as a 73rd-minute substitute for Mark Wilson in a 2–1 away victory.[8] He signed a new three-year contract with the club two days later.[9] On 20 May 2007, the final game of the season, he made his league debut against Hibernian, playing the final two minutes of a 2–1 defeat at Easter Road in place of Craig Beattie.[10] Sheridan made his European debut on 21 October 2008, coming on as a substitute for Scott McDonald in Celtic's Champions League game against Manchester United at Old Trafford.[11] He also started in the return game at Celtic Park on 5 November 2008, a 1–1 draw.[12] Just four days after his European debut, Sheridan made his first league start against Hibernian, scoring the second goal of a 4–2 win.[13]

On 2 February 2009 Sheridan signed for Motherwell on loan until the end of the season, to replace Chris Porter, who had signed for Derby County the previous day.[14] He made his debut five days later, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 draw with St Mirren in the Scottish Cup.[15] He made his first start and league debut a week later on Valentine's Day in Motherwell's 1–0 win over Hamilton, playing the entire 90 minutes as his strike partner David Clarkson scored the only goal of the game.[16] Sheridan scored his first league goal for The Well a fortnight later, the winner in a 2–1 victory at Inverness.[17][18] His only other goal for Motherwell came near the end of the season in a 3–0 win over Hamilton.[17]
On 13 August 2009, Sheridan joined Plymouth Argyle on a six-month loan deal.[19] He made his debut in a 1–1 draw against Queens Park Rangers.[20][21] He played 14 times for the Championship team but failed to find the net.[22]
Sheridan completed his loan spell at Plymouth and returned to Celtic on 14 January 2010. Later the same day he was again loaned out, this time to St Johnstone for the rest of the season.[23] On his debut, on 17 February, he scored two goals in a 5–1 win against Hibernian.[24] On 30 March he scored the opening goal for St Johnstone in a 4–1 win over Rangers.[25]

Trials in the United States and loan to St Johnstone
[edit]On 7 June 2011, Sheridan appeared in a reserve match for American side Seattle Sounders FC.[31] Sheridan started the game and scored in the 7th minute of a 2–0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC.[32] Following his spell with Seattle, Sheridan went on trial with their major rivals Portland Timbers, appearing for their reserve team.[33][34] On 8 July, Sheridan joined SPL club Hibernian on trial,[30] but instead decided to return to St Johnstone on a loan deal until January 2012.[35] He made his second St Johnstone debut on 23 July against Aberdeen,[36] and scored his first two goals of his second stint with the club against Hearts on 25 September.[37] Sheridan scored four goals in 15 appearances before he was prevented from playing by a hamstring injury.[38] In January 2012 St Johnstone and CSKA Sofia agreed to extend the loan deal until the end of the season.[39]
Kilmarnock
[edit]After being released by CSKA Sofia, due to the club's financial problems, Sheridan signed a two-year contract with Scottish Premier League side Kilmarnock on 6 September 2012.[40][41] Sheridan made his debut in a 2–1 loss against Hibernian on 15 September 2012.[42] Seven days later on 22 September 2012, he scored his first goal when he opened the scoring in a 3–1 win over St Mirren.[43] The following week, he scored a hat trick at Tynecastle in 3–1 victory over Hearts. After the match, teammate Manuel Pascali compared Sheridan comparison to former Kilmarnock striker Conor Sammon[44] On 17 October 2012, Sheridan scored against his former club Celtic in a 2–0 win at Parkhead.[45] Sheridan continued his goalscoring form into the second half of the season, but then suffered a hamstring injury which ruled him out for several weeks.[46] During Sheridan's injury absence Kilmarnock signed Kris Boyd, and even after recovering from injury, Sheridan struggled to regain his first team place.[47]

On 30 July 2014, Sheridan scored the equalizer against HJK Helsinki at Sonera Stadium, in APOEL's 2–2 first leg draw for the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.[60] One week later, he scored again in the return leg against HJK Helsinki, opening the scoring in APOEL's 2–0 home victory and advancement to the play-off round of the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League.[61] On 26 August 2014, he scored the fourth goal in APOEL's 4–0 triumph over Aalborg BK for the UEFA Champions League play-off round, helping his team to reach the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.[62] Sheridan appeared in every group stage match in APOEL's 2014–15 UEFA Champions League campaign.[63] On 25 May 2015, one day after winning his second consecutive double with APOEL, the team announced that Sheridan was leaving the club as his contract would not be renewed.[64]

Sheridan played his first league match for Omonia on 22 August 2016 at home against Nea Salamis. He levelled the match at 1–1 after 20 minutes, then helped his side come back from 3–1 down to win 5–3, scoring Omonia's fifth goal from the penalty spot in injury time.[69] Sheridan went on to enjoy the most prolific season of his career to date, scoring a total of 15 goals in the league to add to the three he scored early in the season in the Europa League qualifying rounds.[70]
