Biography:
David Miskelly made his Under-21 debut in a famous 3-1 victory over France in August 1998 and from that point was marked as a star for the future. Although he won a total of ten caps at Under-21 level, he never made it any further, though he did come close. He received call-ups to both Full (February 2002) and B (May 2003) squads but injury ruled him out on both occasions.

Despite his early promise, Miskelly found firstteam football difficult to come by. He signed professional terms with Oldham as a seventeen year-old but in nearly seven years at Boundary Park was in the shadow of the more experienced Gary Kelly and was released in 2004 after just twenty League outings.

Initially Miskelly joined Portadown on a short-term deal before trying unsuccesfully to make his mark at Macclesfield. In the summer of 2004 he rejoined Portadown on a permanent deal and, aside from some lengthy spells out through injury, has been a regular choice since and in January 2016 played his 400th game for the club.

Miskelly retired mid-way through the 2016/17 season after suffering a number of injury problems. He played his final game against Cliftonville in December 2016 and joined Matthew Tipton's coaching staff at Warrenpoint. He returned to Portadown as Tipton's assistant in February 2018 and re-registered as goalkeeper cover at the start of the following season.

Miskelly has since joined up with Tipton again at Ards.
