Archie Barclay Mair (born 10 February 2001) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Carlisle United, on loan from National League club Morecambe. Mair has represented Scotland at youth international level.
Starting his career with the youth teams of Aberdeen and Norwich City, Mair has spent loan spells at King's Lynn Town, Lincoln City, Dartford, Notts County, Gateshead, Morecambe and Motherwell.
Norwich City
Born in Turriff,[2] Mair began his career with Aberdeen,[3] before playing for Norwich City,[4] spending loan spells at King's Lynn Town and Lincoln City.[5] He was recalled by Norwich in January 2022.[6]
He signed on loan for Dartford in November 2022,[7][8] and for Notts County in January 2023.[9][10][11][12] Following his Notts County debut, he was praised by usual first-choice goalkeeper Sam Slocombe.[13] Manager Luke Williams said that his performance "was good, but of course he was involved in two moments where I think the decisions he made were wrong".[14] Mair was brought on as a late substitute for Slocombe in the National League play-off final, and he made two penalty saves in the shootout that won the club promotion to the Football League.[15][16][17][18] Williams said Mair was brought on for the shootout as he had saved a penalty for the club previously, whereas Slocombe had not.[19]
In July 2023 he signed on loan for Gateshead.[20] Mair made 27 appearances in all competitions, before being recalled from his loan on 5 January 2024 in order to facilitate a loan move to EFL League Two club Morecambe.[21]
In January 2025 he signed on loan for Motherwell.[22]
On 28 April 2025, Norwich announced that Mair would be released from his contract at the end of the 2024–25 season.[23]
Return to Morecambe
On 21 August 2025, Mair returned to Morecambe on a permanent basis.[24]
On 30 January 2026, he joined fellow National League club Carlisle United on loan for the remainder of the season.[25]
International career
He has represented Scotland at youth international level,[26] including at under-21 level.[27]
