Iain Angus Vigurs (born 7 May 1988) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Inverness Caledonian Thistle. He has previously played for Elgin City, Ross County and Motherwell.
Born in Aberdeen, Vigurs attended Mackie Academy in Stonehaven, where he lived before his footballing career began. His parents were divorced when he was two and his family were all football supporters. His father Scott played as "a winger or a striker and was very fast" and had trials with Chelsea and QPR, which were unsuccessful.
Vigurs played for Stonehaven Youth under 9s, scoring over 50 goals in his only season. Vigurs started his playing career in the youth team of Aberdeen and then was signed by Celtic. However, Vigurs left Celtic when he was fourteen. He quoted: "When I left Celtic I felt like I had failed a little bit."
Vigurs played for Elgin City in the Third Division, playing over 20 times since making his debut at age 15. Since joining, Vigurs quoted "I played for a boys club for a season then went to Elgin when I was 15. I loved every minute and gained some good experience playing in the Third Division."
He then signed for Inverness Caledonian Thistle, where he was given a twelve-month professional contract and then signed a one-year contract extension with Caley Thistle in May 2008.
He made his home debut for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in May 2008 in a 6–1 win over Gretna. He assisted Ross Tokely's goal and then a minute later scored a goal with a volley. In the 2008–09 season, Vigurs first team opportunities were limited under managers Craig Brewster and Terry Butcher; which saw Inverness relegated to Scottish Division One. He did however manage to score twice, with goals against Arbroath in the League Cup and Partick Thistle in the Scottish Cup. At the end of the 2008–09 season, it announced Vigurs was among seven players to leave the club. While at Inverness, Vigurs was "criticised for his laid back approach". In December, the club offered him a new contract following his breakthrough into the first team.
