Playing career
Born in Blackpool, Cardle played for Lytham Juniors in his youth alongside Joe Anyon. Both players signed for Burnley as schoolboys. In July 2003, sixteen-year-old Cardle signed for League One club Port Vale as an apprentice. Cardle made his senior debut on 10 September 2005, in a 2–0 defeat to Scunthorpe United. He made nine appearances in the 2005–06 campaign, and ten appearances in 2006–07. In May 2007, he signed a one year extension to his contract.[1]
In August 2007, Cardle signed on loan for Scottish First Division outfit Clyde until Christmas.[2] He made his debut on 1 September against Dundee, but was sent off 25 minutes into the game.[3] He made ten appearances in all competitions, the final one being against Montrose in the Scottish Cup in November 2007. He was taken off with an injury, and failed to recover before his loan spell ended. Back at Vale Park, he played nine games in 2007–08.
Cardle was released by new Vale manager Lee Sinnott in May 2008,[4] and subsequently returned to Scotland to join Airdrie United.[5] After 24 league appearances he left mutual consent on 11 March 2009. Cardle was red-carded in his final match for Airdrie, against Livingston on 7 March 2009, after an on-field incident with captain Marc Smyth.[6][7] Cardle later said that "Big Marc got me mixed up with another Airdrie player who had lost possession which led to their [Livingston] fourth goal... Marc’s verbal onslaught mistakenly directed at me, made me lose it".[3] Cardle made a total of 24 appearances on the right side of midfield for the club, scoring three goals in cup competitions along with one league goal.
In May 2009, Cardle signed with Airdrie's First Division rivals Dunfermline Athletic. On 23 January 2010, Cardle scored a hat-trick in Dunfermline's 4–1 win at Partick Thistle, after coming on as a substitute. He scored eight goals in 31 games over all competitions in the 2009–10 campaign. In 2010–11, he helped Jim McIntyre's "Pars" to promotion into the Scottish Premier League as First Division champions.[3] He also scored past Rangers at Ibrox in Dunfermline's 7–2 defeat in the League Cup.[8] However Athletic were relegated straight back out of the SPL in 2011–12, despite a late managerial change in putting Jim Jefferies in charge at East End Park.[9] He was made redundant by Dunfermline in March 2013 after the club suffered a financial crisis.[10]
On 31 March 2013, he joined Raith Rovers until the end of the season, after manager Grant Murray acted quickly to beat the player registration deadline.[11]
