Paul Caddis

Celtic

Caddis trained with the under-17s team at Celtic before moving to the under 19s, where he quickly became captain. He often trained with the Celtic first team. He made his competitive debut coming on as a substitute in Celtic's 1–0 victory away to Falkirk on 27 January 2008. He then made his first start just six days later against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park in the Scottish Cup. He assisted Scott McDonald for the first goal in the 5–1 victory. Caddis made his home debut on 20 February against Barcelona in the Champions League last 16 first leg fixture. He went on to play 17 times in the Scottish Premier League for Celtic. Caddis appeared in Celtic's 3–3 Europa League draw with Rapid Vienna in December 2009.

Dundee United (loan)

On 2 February 2009, Caddis joined Dundee United on loan until the end of the season. The opportunity to develop under Craig Levein was a key factor in his decision. He made his debut against Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 14 February playing the full 90 minutes on the right wing as the game ended 1–1. He returned to Celtic after playing his last game for the Tangerines in a 3–0 defeat to Rangers on 24 May, having made 11 appearances for the club.

Swindon Town

In August 2010, Caddis and fellow Celtic youth team graduate Simon Ferry joined English League One club Swindon Town for an undisclosed fee. The 22-year-old Caddis, who said he left Celtic for regular first-team football, signed a three-year contract. Manager…

Caddis played for the Scotland under-19 team and won 13 caps for the Scotland under-21s.

Caddis was next called up for a friendly against the Czech Republic on 24 March 2016, again as a late replacement. This time, he did make his senior debut, replacing goalscorer Ikechi Anya after 88 minutes as Scotland completed a 1–0 win.

On 20 April 2023, Caddis was appointed as manager of National League North club Hereford, signing a two-year contract and officially taking charge from 1 May.
