Career

Byrne, originally from Kirkcaldy, Scotland, joined Dunfermline Athletic in 2008, after playing at youth level with Celtic. After playing youth team football for his first few season with the club, Byrne made his first team debut in 2012 in the Scottish League Cup, coming on as a substitute for Ryan Wallace in the 3–0 defeat of Montrose. His first league appearance came again as a substitute, this time against Dumbarton in a 2–0 victory at The Bet Butler Stadium, whilst his first start for The Pars came in a New Years Fife derby against Raith Rovers.
Byrne scored his first goal for the club in a 2–3 defeat against Arbroath during the 2013–14 season. After winning the Scottish League One title and with his contract ending, Byrne was released by the Pars at the end of the 2015–16 season.
Shortly after his release by Dunfermline, Byrne signed for recently relegated Scottish League One side Livingston. Byrne was a regular for the club as they gained consecutive promotions in the following two years. After going on to win what would be his second consecutive League One title with ease, the Lions would earn promotion to the Scottish Premiership the following year, defeating Partick Thistle in the Premiership play-offs in 2017–18, having finishing second in the Championship.
In June 2019, Byrne signed for Dundee on a three-year deal with an option of another year for an undisclosed fee.
