Isaac Layne (born 16 May 1995) is an English footballer who plays as a forward for Stirling Albion, on loan from Alloa Athletic.
Career
Layne began his career as a youth with Football League side Brentford, but was released and signed for Isthmian League Premier Division team Billericay Town in October 2013, scoring two goals on his debut.[1] In the summer of 2014, he trialled with Charlton Athletic and played a friendly match against Essex neighbours Southend United, which inspired their manager Phil Brown to sign him on a one-year deal on 4 August.[2] Layne was only included in the matchday squads for two Southend games: a 2–0 home win over Stevenage twelve days after signing,[3] and a 1–0 victory against Hartlepool United at Roots Hall on 15 November.[4]
On 27 November, he joined Conference South team Hayes & Yeading United on a month-long loan.[5] He scored once in five appearances for the team, in a 2–1 home win over Chelmsford City on 20 December.[6]
Layne moved to Scottish Championship club Alloa Athletic on 25 January 2015, on a free transfer.[7] He made his debut six days later, replacing Graeme Holmes in the 60th minute of an eventual 1–4 home defeat to Heart of Midlothian.[8] On 5 April, he was a 69th-minute substitute for Michael Chopra in the 2015 Scottish Challenge Cup Final, a 4–0 loss to Livingston at McDiarmid Park in Perth.[9] In November 2015, Layne signed on temporary loan with Scottish League One side Brechin City,[10] scoring his first goal in a 4–0 draw with Ayr United.[11] After impressing manager Darren Dods with his performances, Layne's loan was initially extended until the end of the season,[12] however he was recalled shortly after this agreement was put in place in order to help cover injuries sustained to the Alloa squad. In August 2016, Layne once again moved out on loan, this time to Scottish League Two side Stirling Albion initially until January 2017.[13]
