Career
Born in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, Buchanan was called into the Northern Ireland under-19 squad in November 2004 for their match against Italy.[2]
Buchanan was released from Bury at the end of his contract. The club had offered Buchanan a new contract, however after previous failed negotiations and period of no response from the player following a new contract offer, the club sought a replacement player and issued a statement claiming that the club would not be held to ransom over contract negotiations.[3]
Hamilton Academical
He signed for Hamilton Academical in July 2010[4]
Tranmere Rovers
He moved to Tranmere Rovers in the summer of 2011.[5] The club offered him contract terms for the 2012–13 season.[6] Although the club reported that he and his agent had agreed a two-year contract, they reported on 24 May that Preston North End had agreed a deal with them.[7]
Preston North End
Buchanan made his debut for Preston on 13 August 2012 against Huddersfield Town in the first round of the League Cup.[8] On 17 December 2013, Buchanan extended his contract with Preston for a further twelve months, thus keeping him at the club until the summer of 2015.[9]
Northampton Town
Buchanan signed with League Two club Northampton Town following his release by Preston North End.[10] He was one of 8 players released by Northampton at the end of the 2018–19 season; a further 3 were placed for sale.[11]
Chesterfield F.C.
In June 2019 Buchanan signed a two-year contract to play for Chesterfield in the National League for the 2019/2020 season.[12]
