After spending time with Kirkintilloch Rob Roy and Stenhousemuir, Anderson moved to Hamilton Academical in June 2011.[1][2] Anderson debuted for the Accies on 23 July 2011 in the Scottish Challenge Cup,[3] before making his SFL debut for the club a fortnight later.[4] In March 2012, Anderson was sent out on loan to Stenhousemuir, alongside Kieran Millar.[5] In May 2012, Anderson was released by the Lanarkshire club, after his return from a loan spell in Larbert.[6]

He returned to Raith Rovers in June 2019.[16]
