He's now a star man at Kilmarnock but the road to this point hasn't been easy for the winger.
Unemployed and wondering if you’ll kick a ball again the next. From being the sought-after kid to the player no one wants. Margins are fine for a footballer. And no one knows that better than Danny Armstrong. There’s a reason he’s Kilmarnock’s best player. And it’s not just his undoubted ability.
But on the advice of former Premier League star Scott Sellars, who was technical director at Molineux, he left the Midlands in search of regular games. When a move to Coventry City fell through, he expected the offers to keep coming. But they didn’t. “After a short time they were bought over and a lot of new faces came in. It was hard for any young boys to break through. If I’d have got a chance at that time, could my career have been different? I’d say yes.
“It was a crazy time in my life. I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to continue playing football. That was hard. Everything was going through my head. What would I do if I wasn’t playing football? He said: “I actually texted John and asked if I could train with Raith. Luckily, he offered me a contract from November to January. I didn’t care about the money on offer. It was a nine-game contract. But after my second game he offered me a two-year deal. It was amazing.
