[edit] Career

Canning started his career at Kilmarnock, making his debut on 23 August 2001 in a 1–0 win over Glenavon in the UEFA Cup. His league debut came nearly eight months later in May 2002 when he replaced Shaun Dillon during a 2–2 draw with Dundee United.^[1] However Canning struggled to establish himself in the side and was released by Kilmarnock in 2005, joining Stirling Albion.^[2]

He remained at Forthbank Stadium for a short time, later joining Dumbarton,^[3] where he established himself in the first team, making over 90 appearances in all competitions during a three year spell. Despite helping the side to the Scottish Third Division title, Canning was released by the club at the end of the season, instead signing with Albion Rovers.^[4] He made his debut on 25 July 2009 as a last minute substitute during a 2–0 win over Ayr United in the Challenge Cup, his first goal coming on 10 October in a 2-0 win over Elgin City.^[5]
