Martin Wyllie McIntosh (born 19 March 1971) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for Blue Square North side Alfreton Town as a defender. In a career that began in 1988, he made over 500 appearances in the Scottish Football League, the Scottish Premier League and the English Football League.[1]
[edit] Career
McIntosh started his football career as a junior at Tottenham Hotspur in 1988 before joining St. Mirren, where he made four appearances in three seasons.[1] Spells with Clydebank, where he made 75 league and cup appearances, and Hamilton Academical, for whom he started 114 games, followed before he moved to Stockport County in August 1997 for a transfer fee of £80,000.[1] He made over 100 appearances for Stockport before a £250,000 transfer took him back to Scotland with Scottish Premier League club Hibernian in February 2000.[1] Injury and competition for places restricted his opportunities at Hibernian to 18 appearances and he joined Rotherham United on a three-month loan in August 2001.[2] He joined Rotherham on a permanent basis in November 2001 for a fee of £125,000.[3] He made over 130 appearances in total in four years at Rotherham[4] and was made club captain.
After Rotherham were relegated at the end of the 2004–05 season, McIntosh was released by manager Mick Harford, who was trying to reduce the average age of the squad, and joined Huddersfield Town on a two-year contract.[4] A knee injury suffered in August 2005, which required surgery, ruled him out of of four months of the 2005–06 season.[5] He returned to the side in December 2005 and made a total of 26 appearances as Huddersfield reached the Football League One play-offs in May 2006.[6]
At the beginning of the 2006–07 season, McIntosh was loaned to Football League Two side Grimsby Town for one month.[7] A request by Grimsby to extend the loan was turned down and McIntosh returned to Huddersfield in September 2006.[8] He fell out of favour with manager Peter Jackson but returned to the side in March 2007 after Jackson was sacked.[9] McIntosh was released by Huddersfield and joined Mansfield Town in June 2007.[10] He made eleven appearances for Mansfield[1] and was released in March 2008.[11] He joined Blue Square North club Alfreton Town in May 2008.[12]
