About Kevin McNaughton
Kevin Paul McNaughton is a Scottish professional football player and coach who is a co-manager of Midlands Premier League club Dundee North End. A versatile player able to play anywhere in defence, McNaughton was also used in a defensive midfield role. He began his career in the Scottish Premier League, playing for Aberdeen for six years. He joined Cardiff City in 2006, spending nine years at the Welsh side, making over 250 appearances. He had two loan spells at Bolton Wanderers before joining Wigan Athletic on a permanent basis in 2015. He retired from playing football in 2017, after a year with Inverness Caledonian Thistle, but reversed this decision in December 2017 after an injury crisis at Forfar Athletic, where he had joined as a coach the previous month. On 5 December 2009 McNaughton played his first 90 minutes of the season in a 1–0 win over Preston North End. McNaughton was Cardiff's most consistent defender throughout the 2010–11 season, and won the Player of the Year award. Also McNaughton had captained the side for the first time in their 3–0 loss to Reading in their play-off second leg, on 17 May. His first league goal came just a few months later when he scored on the final day of the season against Barnsley in a 3–0 win.
