Brewster was born in Stobswell , Dundee and grew up a Dundee United supporter . He signed for the club as a schoolboy , but was not offered professional terms by then manager Jim McLean . Unable to find a senior club , Brewster dropped into junior football with Dundee side Stobswell for a while , before signing for Forfar Athletic in 1985 . At this time , his regular playing position was in midfield . His form at Forfar prompted the attention of Raith Rovers , who signed him in 1991 . At this time he converted to striker , and formed a prolific partnership with Gordon Dalziel that helped Raith to the First Division title in 1993 . Dundee United . In 1993 , Brewster returned to Dundee United , signing for the Tannadice club for a fee of £250,000 . After a slow start in which he struggled to adapt to Premier Division football , Brewsters first season at Tannadice culminated in his greatest moment as a player , scoring the winner for United in the 1994 Scottish Cup Final against Rangers . However , the club was relegated a year later . Brewster helped them towards promotion back to the top flight in 1995–96 , scoring four goals in one match against Dumbarton , but when his contract expired at the end of the season he decided to further his career elsewhere . With the Bosman ruling having just come into force , Brewster was entitled to move abroad on a free transfer , and he decided to take advantage of an offer from Greek club Ionikos FC . Greece , Hibs and Dunfermline . While other Scottish players who moved to Europe at this time mainly returned home soon afterwards , Brewster remained at Ionikos FC for five seasons . His time in Greece included another national cup final appearance , but Ionikos FC lost the 2000 Greek Cup to AEK Athens . In July 2001 , Brewster went on trial at Hibernian , securing a return to Scotland in time for the 2001–02 season . In his first season back in Scotland , Brewster formed a productive partnership with a young Garry OConnor but due to budget cuts by Hibs , Brewster joined Dunfermline Athletic in 2002 . He enjoyed some of the most consistent form of his career playing alongside Stevie Crawford , who had a been a youngster at Raith during Brewsters time there . Despite some clamour from fans and the media for Brewster to be called up to the Scotland squad , this never materialised . Playing and managing . After leaving Dunfermline , Brewster had spells as player-manager at Inverness and then later Dundee United , which was a move in which he became the most expensive 39-year-old footballer ever , costing the Terrors a reported £340,000 . Brewster joined Aberdeen in December 2006 , signing a contract until the end of the 2006–07 season . He linked up again with Jimmy Calderwood , who had been his manager at Dunfermline . Brewster made his debut for Aberdeen as a substitute in a goalless draw with Hibernian on 2 January 2007 , and he scored his first goal for Aberdeen with a header in a Scottish Cup tie against the same opponents eight days later . Brewster then suffered a dislocated shoulder in a draw against Inverness . Doubts were cast over his playing future , but Brewster returned in early March and he signed a six-month extension to his Aberdeen contract in May 2007 . His contract with Aberdeen was cut short , however , when he returned to management with Inverness in August 2007 . He only played in two league games for Inverness in his second spell with that club , scoring the winning goal in a SPL match against Hearts . After being sacked as Inverness manager in early 2009 , Brewster signed a contract with Highland derby rivals Ross County until the end of the 2008–09 season . Coaching career . Inverness CT .

He helped to establish the club in the Scottish Premier League after John Robertson had left to take the position at Hearts . Dundee United . Brewster was appointed player–manager of Dundee United in January 2006 . His return to United yielded little success , however , as despite going unbeaten in his first three games , the remainder of the 2005–06 season brought just one win ( against Livingston ) . Brewster had to wait four league games into the 2006–07 season for his second league win , and oversaw only two league wins in his nine months at Tannadice . On 29 October 2006 , after a 5–1 defeat to Falkirk , Brewster and assistant Malky Thomson left by mutual agreement . After leaving Dundee United he was linked with several managerial vacancies , including those at former clubs Dunfermline , Raith and Ionikos , but he returned to playing with Aberdeen instead . Return to Inverness . Brewster returned to management with Inverness in August 2007 , after previous manager Charlie Christie had resigned . Inheriting a team that was bottom of the league with no points , the team went on a good run of form culminating in December 2007 with a remarkable 3–2 win over Celtic , despite having been 0–2 down and having a player sent off . Pressure began to mount on Brewster in early 2008 , however , when the team went on a run of seven consecutive defeats . Brewster stuck to a tough but unpopular stance regarding player discipline and contracts . Results eventually improved with the team finishing ninth in the league . This improvement was not maintained during the 2008–09 season , however . Brewster was sacked on 19 January 2009 following a run of seven consecutive league defeats , that left the team bottom of the league . Ross County . Brewster was appointed assistant manager of Ross County , working with manager Derek Adams . Ross County reached the 2010 Scottish Cup Final under their management . Brewster left the club in December 2010 , soon after Willie McStay had replaced Adams as manager . Crawley Town . After six months out of work , Brewster was appointed first team coach of Crawley Town by manager Steve Evans in June 2011 . Brewster was appointed caretaker manager on 9 April 2012 , after the departure of Evans , until the end of the season . Brewster guided the club to promotion to Football League One with three wins from their last six games . He was retained as a coach when Sean ODriscoll was appointed manager in May 2012 . Brewster was again placed in caretaker charge , along with Steve Coppell , after ODriscoll left in July 2012 . After Crawley . In November 2013 , Brewster joined Whitehawk as assistant manager . He worked for Darren Freeman , but Freeman was sacked as manager in January 2014 . Brewster subsequently moved to a coaching position with the youth academy at Brighton & Hove Albion . Plymouth Argyle . In June 2015 , Derek Adams appointed Brewster to the position of assistant manager at Plymouth Argyle . Brewster left Argyle at the end of the 2017-18 season , after a hip operation he had undergone in January 2018 had seen him not feature on the sidelines for Argyle for the back-end of the season . He was replaced as assistant by Paul Wotton , with Kevin Nancekivell stepping up to the first team coaching team . Brewster later expressed his sadness and surprise at being released by the club . Horsham . On 25 November 2019 , Brewster was appointed sporting director of Horsham . References . - Sources
