Club career[edit]

Jonathan Tiffoney began his career with the Ayr United Youth Academy, joining the first team squad prior to the 2010-11 season. He made his first competitive start for Ayr United against Airdrie United at Recreation Park, Alloa.[1] After establishing himself in the right back position, he signed a contract to stay at Ayr until 2012. Tiffoney scored an own goal in the Play-off Final at Glebe Park against Brechin City. He scored his first goal for Ayr against Raith Rovers at Somerset Park in the Boxing Day fixture.[2] At the end of the 2011-12 season, Tiffoney was given the official 'Young Player of the Year' by the club, voted by the club's supporters.[3] In 2018, he sued Ayr United over their refusal to allow him to leave on a transfer to Dundee in 2012.[4]

In January 2013, Tiffoney signed for Alloa Athletic, playing four games for the club. He then joined Limerick ahead of the 2013 League of Ireland season,[5] but left the club shortly after, and in March 2013 returned for a second spell at Alloa.[6] On 15 May 2013, Tiffoney scored as Alloa defeated Dunfermline Athletic 3-0 in the first leg of the SFL First Division play-off which Alloa won over two legs to gain promotion to the First Division. On 28 July 2013, Tiffoney signed a new contract with Alloa; however, due to a contract dispute with Ayr United, he was only able to sign as an amateur.[7]

Tiffoney signed for Scottish League One club Brechin City in July 2015.[8] He signed for Stenhousemuir on 15 November 2019.[9]

On 29 April 2021, during a match against Albion Rovers, Tiffoney allegedly taunted Rovers player David Cox over his mental health issues.[10] Cox left the stadium at half-time and stated he was retiring from football.[11][12] Tiffoney denied the allegations and claimed it was Cox that verbally abused him.[13] Tiffoney was later released by Stenhousemuir and charged by the SFA due to the incident.[14][15]

International career[edit]

He has played at under-21 level for Scotland, in a closed door friendly match against Greenock Morton at Cappielow,[16][17] in which he provided the cross for the winner.[18][19]
