Career
Born in Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, Buchanan joined Heart of Midlothian aged 13, having been released by Rangers.[1] He was first included in a matchday squad on 31 August 2013, remaining an unused substitute for their 3–0 loss at Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[2]
He made his debut on 20 August 2014 in the second round of the Scottish Challenge Cup away to Livingston, replacing Gary Oliver in the 56th minute of a 4–1 loss.[3] On 26 October, he made his professional debut in the Scottish Championship, replacing Billy King for the final three minutes of a 1–1 Edinburgh derby draw with Hibernian at Easter Road.[4] Buchanan was loaned to fellow Championship team Cowdenbeath on 16 January 2015,[5] playing 10 games without scoring,[6] as the season ended with relegation.
On 5 May 2015, Buchanan signed a new two-year contract.[7] He returned to Cowdenbeath, now of Scottish League One, on 7 August,[8] and his loan ended at the start of November 2015.[9]
In November 2016, Buchanan joined Brechin City on a one-month emergency loan deal, in a bid to strengthen their squad.[10]
