Tiffoney started his career in the youth system at St Mirren, and has played for Greenock Morton,[1] Livingston and Partick Thistle, as well as loans to Clyde, Morton, Ayr United and Partick.
Career[edit]
Morton[edit]
Tiffoney signed a new deal in September 2016 to tie him to Morton until summer 2018.[2]
On 10 November 2016, he joined Scottish League Two side Clyde on loan until January 2017.[3][4] He returned to Morton after just six appearances for the Bully Wee.[5]
Livingston[edit]
In August 2018, Tiffoney signed for Livingston for an undisclosed fee and was immediately loaned back to Morton until January 2019.[6] He made his second debut for Morton on the left-wing in a defeat against Dumbarton.[7] He joined Ayr United on loan in January 2020.[8]
Partick Thistle (loan)[edit]
Tiffoney joined Partick Thistle on loan in March 2021, during the extended loan market for the 2020–21 Scottish League One season as a result of the temporary suspension on lower league football due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9] Tiffoney scored his first and second goals for the club on his league debut, in a 4-2 away win at Airdrieonians on 27 March 2021.[10] Tiffoney would play a massive part in Thistle's league comeback and eventually League One title win.[11]
Partick Thistle[edit]
After a successful loan spell at the club, Tiffoney joined Partick Thistle on a two-year contract in June 2021 ahead of the upcoming 2021–22 Scottish Championship season after Partick Thistle's title-winning Scottish League One campaign in 2020–21. Tiffoney scored the winner on the opening day of the 2021–22 league season in a 3–2 home with over Queen of The South.[12]
During his first full season with Thistle; Tiffoney scored five goals and registered seven assists in all competitions, as Partick Thistle finished 4th in the Scottish Championship.
Tiffoney suffered injury problems during spells of his second full season with Thistle, however, managed to register 12 goals and eight assists in all competitions during the 2022–23 campaign. As Thistle once again finished 4th in the Championship, Tiffoney scored 3 goals in the side's impressive run to the Premiership play-off final, where they would fall at the final hurdle against Ross County.[13]
Dundee[edit]
In June 2023, Tiffoney agreed to join Scottish Premiership club Dundee following the expiration of his contract at Partick Thistle.[14] He would make his competitive debut in an away Scottish League Cup group stage win against Bonnyrigg Rose.[15] Tiffoney scored his first Dundee goal in the league away to St Johnstone in September 2023.[16] On 17 February 2024, Tiffoney scored both goals in a 2–0 victory at home to Ross County.[17]
Personal life[edit]
His elder brother Jonathan Tiffoney is also a footballer.[18]
