Career
Born in Glasgow, Cawley started his career at Celtic, where he was a high goal scorer for their reserve side.
After being released by Celtic in 2009, Cawley signed for Ayr United on a one-year contract.[1] Cawley made his debut for the Honest Men on 25 July 2009 against Albion Rovers in the Challenge Cup. In March 2010, Cawley was loaned out for a month to Stranraer (in the Third Division) to get some match practice.[2]

Nickname
