Biography


6' 5 Cillian Sheridan hails from Bailieborough on Ireland and started his professional career with Celtic.

During his four years with the club, he made just 19 appearances and found himself loaned out to Motherwell, Plymouth and St Johnstone.

In a suprise move, Sheridan signed for Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia but he would find himself back in Scotland after one season with CSKA, again on loan to St Johnstone after having trials in America with numerous clubs.

With CSKA in financial trouble, Sheridan was released and signed for Kilmarnock but after only one season and losing his place on the starting XI to Kirs Boyd, the striker signed for Cypriot side APOEL.

While at APOEL, he won back-to-back League titles, the Cyprus Cup twice and the Cypriot Super Cup.

Days after helping APOEL to their second league title, Sheridan was released and then signed for rival club Omonia.

Omonia was the most prolific for Sheridan at any club as he scored 29 goals over two season.

He then signed for Jagiellonia Bialystok, Wellington Phoenix, Ironi Kiryat Shmona and Wisla Plock before arriving at Dens on a two-year deal.

His time at Dens was married by injuries with most of his appearances coming from the substitutes bench.

In October 2021, Sheridan would suffer an achilles tendon that would keep him out for the reminder of the season and it would be nearly a year and after making his comeback, he would suffer more heartbreak a few months later when he again ruptured his achilles tendon to yet again end his season early.

His contract wasn't renewed at the end of the 22-23 Championship winning season but the club would continue to support the striker as he looked to bounce back from two serious injuries.
