Career

edit

After playing for the club's under-17s side Lyden made his senior debut at the age of 16 in a 2–1 victory for Dumbarton over Queen of the South in December 2016, as an injury time sub for Andy Stirling.[2] In doing so he became the first player born in the 21st century to play for the club.[3] He made his home debut in March, again in place of Stirling, in a 4–0 victory over Raith Rovers. Following the disbanding of Dumbarton's youth system, Lyden signed for Clydebank and, in doing so, became the youngest player to ever agree first team terms with the club.[4] He joined Vale of Leven in July 2018.[5]
