Career

Motherwell

Coakley started his career at

Scottish First Division.[6]

Morton

However the trial with Partick was unsuccessful and a trial with

Celtic[8] and Jani Šturm.[9] left them short upfront and Coakley was offered a six-month contract following him scoring in a friendly victory at Raydale Park over Gretna.[10]

Having only made a handful of appearances for Morton, in September 2007 Coakley stepped down a division, going on loan to Alloa Athletic,[11] scoring his first goal for the team in a win against Peterhead.[12] Coakley then went on loan to Stranraer in the Scottish Third Division[13] , and made his debut against Montrose. His loan spell finished after 5 games, with no goals.

Alloa

He was released by Morton in January 2008 and then played 3 games for Alloa as a trialist before signing a permanent deal with the club until May 2008. He was released at the end of his contract and in June 2008 was signed by Queen's Park manager Gardner Speirs.[14]

Queen's Park

He made his first appearance for Queen's Park as they lost 2–1 to Partick Thistle in the Challenge Cup. He scored his first goal in a 2–1 win over East Fife on 16 August.[15] Coakley scored a famous goal against Celtic in Queen's Park's 2–1 Scottish Cup loss in February 2009, but failed to build on the goal at Celtic Park and only made two more appearances for the Queen's Park first team before being released in May 2009.[16]

Clyde

Coakley undertook pre-season training with former team Alloa, however they were unable to meet his wage demands,

Scottish Second Division.[18] Coakley left the club by mutual consent in October 2009, after only making 5 appearances, deciding to end his football career in the process.[19]

Junior Football

He returned to football in September 2010 when he signed for Ayrshire junior club Glenafton Athletic.[20]

International

Coakley has been capped at least three times for Scotland under 18s, against Belgium, Northern Ireland and Malta.[18]
