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.[2] 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.[3]
He spent the 2010–11 season at East Stirlingshire, then in June 2011 he signed for Alloa Athletic.[4]
After four years with Alloa, Cawley signed for Scottish Championship rivals Dumbarton.[5] He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 friendly win over Hearts.[6] His first competitive goal came in a 1–1 draw with East Fife in the Scottish League Cup on 1 August 2015[7]
Cawley was released by Dumbarton in May 2016,[8] subsequently re-signing for recently relegated Alloa Athletic.[9]
Nickname
Due to his small stature, some Alloa Athletic fans have compared Cawley to the club's top goalscorer for a single season Willie Crilley, referring to him as 'The Mighty Atom' – a term which Wasps fans of the 1920s also used for Crilley.
