His career began with Oldham Athletic in 1997, and continued with Chesterfield between 2001 and 2005.

Playing career
Innes started his career with Second Division side Oldham Athletic, signing professional forms at the start of the 1997–98 season. He first established himself in the first team in the 1999–2000 and 2000–01 campaigns, making 24 and 38 appearances over all competitions respectively.
Out of favour at the start of the 2001–02 season, he was loaned out to Chesterfield in December 2001 in a one month spell. He moved permanently to Saltergate at the end of his spell, and finished the season with two goals and 23 appearances to his name. After he picked up a calf injury in September 2002,[1] Innes was limited him to just ten games in 2002–03. However his performances over 23 games in the 2003–04 campaign saw him rewarded him with a new one year contract.[2] Following 22 appearances the following season, he was released by the club in March 2005.[3]
He signed with Port Vale days after his release from Chesterfield,[4] and signed a twelve month contract in June 2005.[5] He was a first team feature at Vale Park until February 2006, at which point he fell out of the first team picture and was released when his contract was up at the end of the 2006–07 season. Back in his native Scotland he went on trial at St Mirren, where an achilles injury ended his professional career, also leaving him with a lengthy rehabilitation period.
He returned to England and joined Conference North club Hyde United in 2007 whilst also working as a tiler – he had come into the tiling profession after the PFA helped him onto a training course.[6] Enjoying regular first team football with 67 performances over two seasons,[7] he was not offered a new contract in summer 2009.
Upon his release from Hyde, Innes dropped several divisions to join New Mills in the North West Counties Football League. Following a second place finish in 2009–10, New Mills won promotion out of the North West Counties Football League Premier Division in the 2010–11 season, finishing as champions with 102 points. They were rewarded with a place in the Northern Premier League Division One South.
In June 2011 he joined Mossley in the Northern Premier League Division One North.[8]
