Biography
Mark Canning (born 12 September 1983 in Glasgow) is a Scottish footballer who currently plays for Albion Rovers.
Career
Canning started his career at Kilmarnock, making his debut on 23 August 2001 in a 1–0 win over Glenavon in the UEFA Cup. His league debut came nearly eight months later in May 2002 when he replaced Shaun Dillon during a 2–2 draw with Dundee United. However Canning struggled to establish himself in the side and was released by Kilmarnock in 2005, joining Stirling Albion.
He remained at Forthbank Stadium for a short time, later joining Dumbarton, where he established himself in the first team, making over 90 appearances in all competitions during a three-year spell. Despite helping the side to the Scottish Third Division title, Canning was released by the club at the end of the season, instead signing with Albion Rovers. He made his debut on 25 July 2009 as a last minute substitute during a 2–0 win over Ayr United in the Challenge Cup, his first goal coming on 10 October in a 2–0 win over Elgin City.
