Career

Morton & England

Lilley began his career with Greenock Morton and won a move to English Premiership side Leeds United in 1997. His time at Elland Road were frustrating, with only four starts from twenty-one appearances and only a solitary goal when he replaced Lee Bowyer to score the winner in a 3-2 away win at Barnsley.[1] He spent three months on loan, at Heart of Midlothian and Bury, where again he managed a goal for each club. His goal at Hearts coming in a 2-1 defeat to Dundee,[2] and his goal at Bury coming in a crucial 1-0 win over Oxford United.[3]

A move to Oxford United in 1999-00 helped kick-start his career and his return of 9 goals from 63 appearances prompted interest from Dundee United.

Scotland

A move in December 2000 saw him head north to United and a debut goal salvaged a point at home to Rangers, although he would be sent off in his second game against former club Hearts. Ultimately, it was Lilley's last-minute winner at St Johnstone which saved United from relegation and his six goals in the half-season would cement his status with the fans. The following season, Lilley would manage just six goals, despite a hat-trick against St Johnstone and only two league goals in 2002-03 spelled the end of his time at Tannadice.

A move to Livingston followed in 2003-04 and a rejuvenated Lilley scored 12 league goals, plus four in the Scottish League Cup - including one in the final win against Hibernian - and a hat-trick in the Scottish Cup. This earned him the nickname of "The Goal Machine." 2004-05 was a different story, however and Lilley's three goals were not enough to earn him a new contract.

Lilley returned to first club Morton for 2005-06 and managed twelve league goals as Morton narrowly lost in the play-off semi-finals. In 2006-07, he had managed four league goals by the turn of the year.

On January 26, 2007, his contract was terminated by Morton, and he signed for St. Johnstone. After making fourteen appearances for Saints (all as a substitute), Lilley was released by the club at the end of the season.[4] On 7 June 2007, Lilley signed for newly promoted First Division side Stirling Albion. Lilley only played a handful of games for Stirling Albion before being released at the end of the season.

Lilley signed for Forfar Athletic in June 2008,[5] going on to score three goals against East Stirling[6] and Berwick[7] in the league and Partick Thistle in the League Cup,[8] before being released at the end of the 2008/09 season.[9]
