In July 2007, Greer signed for [WIKI]Doncaster Rovers[/WIKI] after he rejected a new contract offer from Kilmarnock.[FOOTNOTE]Greer completes Doncaster switch[/FOOTNOTE] His first season at Doncaster was blighted by several injuries and Greer was restricted to only six appearances in 2007/08, though he did manage to score his first goal for the club against [WIKI]Bournemouth[/WIKI].[FOOTNOTE]Doncaster 1 - 2 Bournemouth[/FOOTNOTE] During the 2008/2009 season he joined League One side [WIKI]Swindon Town[/WIKI] on an initial one month loan[FOOTNOTE]ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR[/FOOTNOTE] which was later extended for a further two months [FOOTNOTE]GREER SIGNS UP[/FOOTNOTE] thanks to a financial contribution from TrustSTFC's Red Army Fund. On his return to Doncaster, he was released from his contract on 7 May 2009[FOOTNOTE]O'Driscoll wields the axe[/FOOTNOTE] after only 12 appearances in two years.
