Career

Caldwell, who was educated at Hamilton Grammar School, started playing football relatively late in childhood.[2] He played for various boys teams before joining the youth system of Edinburgh professional club Hibernian (Hibs).[2] Hibs manager Pat Fenlon added Caldwell to the first team squad soon after he took charge in November 2011.[3] Caldwell was named as a substitute in a game against Motherwell, but was prevented from playing because the match was abandoned.[3] He made his senior debut on 10 December 2011, appearing as a substitute in a 2–0 defeat against Rangers.[4] Caldwell agreed a new two-year contract with Hibs in March 2012.[5]

Caldwell was mainly used as a substitute during the 2012–13 season. In his second starting appearance for Hibs, he scored a match winning goal against Hearts at Tynecastle on 12 May 2013.[6] He made seven first team appearances in the early months of the 2013–14 season, but did not play for Hibs after 30 November.[7] Caldwell was loaned to Alloa Athletic in January 2014 for the rest of the season.[7] He scored a goal in his first appearance for Alloa, in a 3–1 defeat against Queen of the South.[8]

Caldwell went on trial with St Mirren in July 2014 and subsequently signed a one-year contract with the club, with the option of a second year.[9] After limited appearances for the club, Caldwell terminated his contract by mutual consent on 9 January 2015.[10] In his time at the club, Caldwell made 15 appearances, scoring two goals.

On the same day Caldwell left St Mirren, he signed a contract with Scottish League One side Greenock Morton until the end of season 2014–2015.[11] He was released by Morton at the end of the season.[12] In July 2015, Caldwell signed for Ayr United on a six-month deal.[13] At the start of January 2016, Caldwell was released by Ayr United[14] having made 22 appearances, scoring five times for the side. He subsequently signed for league rivals Cowdenbeath shortly after his released from Ayr.[15]

International

Caldwell was invited to a training camp of the Scotland national under-19 football team in March 2011.[16]
