His career started withDunfermline Athletic, the club he supported as a boy, and, while there, he spent time on loan atDumbarton andStirling Albion.
After signing for Brechin City on a permanent basis he was instrumental in guiding them to theScottish Football League First Division inseason 2002–03.
Greenock Morton then paid a "considerable fee"[1] to sign him.
After a poor start atCappielow, punctuated by a return to Brechin City on loan, Templeman became a regular starter and important player at Cappielow, his most famous goals probably being his double againstSPL sideKilmarnock in theScottish Cup Third Round, where Morton won 3–1.[2] However, by the start of the 2007–08 season, with Morton having won promotion to the First Division, Templeman's playing time began to decrease, largely in favour ofPeter Weatherson andIain Russell. He came on frequently as a substitute in the second half, notching up three goals in cup competitions.
On 17 January 2008, it was announced thatSanny would be moving toEast Fife. It was not announced if a transfer fee was paid. However, by 21 January he was an East Fife player.
In June 2009, Templeman joinedForfar Athletic after being released by East Fife.[3] After 7 years and over 250 appearances for the Loons, Templeman was released by Forfar in January 2016,[4] signing forScottish League Two sideMontrose shortly after leavingStation Park.[5]
