Club career

Manchester United

Galbraith started his career at Hearts, before signing for Manchester United on his 16th birthday,[2] when he was old enough to be permitted to sign for the club.[1] In his first season at the club, Galbraith was part of the side that reached the FA Youth Cup final.[3] His progress was stalled by a series of injuries, however, and he never made an appearance for the Manchester United first team.[2] He had suffered ankle, knee and groin problems, the last of which prevented him from playing for ten months.[4]

Hibernian

After being given a free transfer by United in 2009, Galbraith signed for Hibernian on a two-year contract.[3] He made his senior debut in a 2–1 win against St. Mirren at the start of the 2009–10 season, coming on as a substitute for Paul Hanlon.[2] Galbraith set up the winning goal in that match by sending in a cross that Abdessalam Benjelloun headed into the net.[2]

Galbraith scored his first goal in senior football on 27 January 2010, firing a low shot past Artur Boruc late on at Celtic Park to give Hibernian a 2–1 league win against Celtic.[5] Galbraith described the goal as a "moment to remember", and made the recuperation from the injuries he suffered in previous years worthwhile.[4] Despite this dramatic contribution, Galbraith made only two further appearances that season, both as a substitute.[6] Manager John Hughes commented that he would not play youngsters until he felt that they were ready.[6]

Galbraith agreed a new contract with Hibernian, now managed by Colin Calderwood, in February 2011.[7]

International career

Galbraith represented Scotland at under-17 level, but suffered injuries which severely set back his career.[8] He was added to the Scotland national under-21 football team in February 2011.[8]
