Callum Booth (born 30 May 1991) is a Scottish footballer who currently plays as a left back for Scottish Premiership club Partick Thistle. Booth, who joined Hibernian aged 10, played for the youth team that won a league and cup double in 2009. After loan spells with Arbroath and Brechin City in 2010, he broke into the Hibernian first team in 2011. He was selected less frequently during 2012 and was loaned to Livingston for the 2012–13 season and then to Raith Rovers the following season. On 14 May 2015, Booth signed a pre-contract agreement to make his move to Partick Thistle permanent on 1 June 2015.
Early life
Booth was born in Stranraer, but he moved to Haddington, East Lothian aged three, with his parents and elder brother.[3] He was educated at Haddington Infant School, King's Meadow Primary and Knox Academy.[3]
Career
Hibernian
Booth joined the Hibernian youth setup aged 10[3] and he played for the Hibs under-19s side that won the League and Cup double in the 2008–09 season.[4] Booth signed professional terms with Hibs after that success, but had to wait to make his first appearance in the first team.
He had loan spells at Scottish Football League clubs Arbroath in 2009–10,[5] where he won the Scottish Football League Young Player of the Month for February 2010[6] and in 2010–11 at Brechin City.[7] Colin Calderwood gave Booth a long term contract when he returned from the latter club in December 2010.[4]
Booth made his debut for Hibernian on 18 January 2011, in a 1–0 Scottish Cup defeat at Ayr United.[8] He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 win against Inverness CT on 26 February at Easter Road.[9] Following his good run of form since his debut, he was named as SPL Young Player of the Month for February 2011.[10] Booth was dropped from the team early in the 2011–12 season, after he made a few defensive errors.[11]
Booth signed on loan for Livingston in August 2012.[12] In total he made 31 First Division appearances for the West Lothian club.[13]
Booth moved on loan to Raith Rovers, for the full duration of the 2013–14 season, in June 2013.[14][15] On 6 April 2014, he played the full match as Raith Rovers beat Rangers 1–0 after extra time at Easter Road to win the Scottish Challenge Cup.[16]
Partick Thistle
On 28 January 2015, Booth joined Partick Thistle for the remainder of the season on loan.[17] On 14 May 2015, it was announced that Booth had signed a one-year contract with Thistle.[18] His contract was extended by another year in February 2016, when he made his 25th league appearance of the 2015/16 season.[19] Booth scored his first goal for Partick Thistle in a 3-1 away defeat to Motherwell. [20] He scored his second goal for Thistle only a few days later in a 2-1 victory away to St. Johnstone.
On 7 April 2016, Booth further renewed his Thistle contract, which will keep him at Firhill until the end of the 2017/18 football season, with the option of a further year-long extension until May 2019.[21]
