Biography:
Scottish-born midfielder Bryan Gilfillan qualified to play for Northern Ireland through his Ballymoney-born parents. He began his career at Inverness Caledonian Thistle, but was released after just three substitute appearances and he signed a part-time deal with Third Division Cowdenbeath in 2003. He proved a useful goalscoring midfielder with the Blue Brazil, so earning a move to big-spending Gretna early in the 2004/05 season.
It was his performances as Gretna stormed to the Division Three title that earned Gilfillan a surprise call-up to the Northern Ireland Under-21 squad, and he made his debut in a 2-1 win over Scotland in February 2005. Such was the excitement within Gretna over a first international call-up for one of their players, that millionaire owner Brooks Mileson flew a 28-person party over to the game in Belfast!
Gilfillan lost his place in the Gretna firstteam due to injury and a dip in form and played no part as they stormed to another promotion in 2005/06 season. Instead, he played much of that season in the (higher level) First Division with Stranraer and in the summer of 2006 he joined Peterhead. Throughout this time, when fit, he was a regular Under-21 international.
Since 2006 Gilfillan has led something of a nomadic footballing career, taking in several lower-league Scottish teams as well as a spells playing in Australia.
