Darryl Duffy

Darryl Alexander Duffy (born 16 April 1984) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a striker for Largs Thistle.

Born in Glasgow, Duffy made his debut for Rangers in a Scottish League Cup match against Forfar on 28 October 2003,[2] coming on as an 84th-minute substitute for Maurice Ross.

[14] He would play a total of 16 matches, scoring nine goals in the top tier of the Scottish League until his transfer to Hull City.

Falkirk chairman Campbell Christie expressed his disappointment about the transfer saying that Duffy wanted to "develop" his career in England.

[17] However, with limited opportunities at Hull, particularly after the departure of manager Peter Taylor, he joined Hartlepool United on loan in November 2006, scoring 5 goals in 10 games for the then League Two side.

[22] On 30 August 2010, Duffy signed a season-long loan deal with SPL side Hibernian to team up with his former Falkirk manager John Hughes.

[24] The injury meant that Duffy was unable to play for Hibs before Hughes left the club by mutual consent.

[31] Scottish striker scored 14 goals in 24 games for Salgaocar and won the Golden Boot in I-League along with Sunil Chhetri.

[32][33] On 2 September 2015, he signed for Indian Super League franchise FC Goa on loan till the end of the season.

[36] After finding it difficult to break into the first team, Duffy was loaned out to Scottish League One club Airdrieonians on 10 January 2018, for the remainder of the season.

[40] In June 2021, he became player-assistant manager, supporting Jamie Hammill,[41] a role he held until April 2023 when the duo departed the club.
