Career

Armstrong began his career playing youth football with Scottish club Hamilton Academical.[2] After almost 10 years with the club, Armstrong was signed by EFL Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers on 27 October 2015, agreeing a three-year deal with the side.[2]

After primarily playing for the club's youth sides, Armstrong was loaned out to Scottish Championship side Dunfermline Athletic at end of January 2018, with the player expressing a desire to play first-team football.[3][4] His first start for the club came as a second-half substitute for Andy Ryan in a 0–0 draw with Livingston.[5]

He was released by Wolves at the end of the 2017–18 season.[1] Armstrong then signed a short-term contract with Raith Rovers, and scored five goals in 11 appearances for the Kirkcaldy club.[6] Armstrong moved to Scottish Championship club Ross County in January 2019.[6] He scored on his debut for Ross County against East Fife in the Scottish Challenge Cup. Armstrong left County on 2 September 2019,[7] and then returned to Raith Rovers in October 2019.[8]
