Henry Austin McCann (born January 21, 1980 in Clydebank) is a Scottish footballer, currently playing for Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish First Division.

Career

cotland

McCann started his career as an apprentice with Scottish League First Division Airdrieonians in 1997. Primarily considered a left fullback, he has on occasion played as a wingback or even in left midfield. He spent 3 successful seasons with Airdrie, playing 97 times and scoring 9 goals while gaining a reputation as an exciting young talent. His form attracted the attention of Premier League side Heart of Midlothian, who were seeking a replacement for the recently sold Gary Naysmith, and he moved to the Edinburgh club in February 2001.

McCann struggled to maintain a regular place in the Hearts' side during his three seasons at Tynecastle, as firstly the veteran Stephane Mahé, then latterly converted right back Alan Maybury, were preferred in the left back berth by manager Craig Levein. Consequently, Austin appeared a mere 39 times for Hearts. However, his only competitive goal for the side was a memorable final minute 30-yard strike against Celtic in 2002/03, which secured a 2–1 home win against a side which reached the UEFA Cup Final that season.

England

McCann left Hearts in April 2004 in search of more regular first team football, initially signing a short term deal with Clyde before agreeing to join Steve Evans' growing Scottish contingent at Boston United in the summer. McCann played 88 games in two seasons for the Pilgrims, scoring 1 goal, before joining Notts County when his contract at York Street expired in the summer of 2006.

Return to Scotland

In February 2008, McCann signed a pre-contract deal with Scottish First Division side Dunfermline Athletic.
