Edward Joseph "Eddie" Malone, (born 6 April 1985, Edinburgh), is a Scottish defender currently playing for Dundee.

Career

Malone began his senior career with St Johnstone, where he made a handful of appearances.

Malone left St Johnstone and headed to Clyde in a swap deal for Clyde's Kevin Fotheringham. Malone made his Clyde debut in a goaless draw against St Mirren in the Scottish First Division in September 2004. Malone went on to become an integral part of the team, fulfilling a variety of positions, including central defence, central midfield, and his favoured left wing back position. Malone was only one of four players that survived the clearout of Summer 2005.

In 2005-06, under new manager Graham Roberts, Malone hit the peak of his form, in front of millions of viewers on SKY TV. Malone struck a sweet volley from the edge of the area, the winning goal in Clyde's remarkable Scottish Cup victory over giants Celtic. Malone was the vice-captain of Clyde.

Malone signed a contract with SPL club St Mirren on January 30, 2007. In November 2007 he joined Dundee in a month-long loan.
