Higdon got his first goal of the 2012–13 season at Fir Park in an SPL game where he opened the scoring in a 1–1 draw against former club St Mirren with a well placed goal into the corner with his weak foot. Higdon scored frequently during the 2012–13 season, becoming the top Motherwell goalscorer in a season since the Second World War. He ended the season with 26 league goals, including a club record 2 hat-tricks, to finish as the league's top scorer. He was voted PFA Scotland Players' Player of the Year for the 2012–13 season.

Higdon found his scoring boots in the 2010–11 season, scoring his first hat-trick in a 3–1 win over Hamilton Academical on 2 April 2011. In the 2010–11 season, Higdon notched a total of 15 goals in 33 appearances for St Mirren.

In the final SPL game of 2008–09 for Falkirk, Higdon scored the winning goal to save Falkirk from relegation and thus relegating Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Higdon joined Scottish Premier League club Falkirk in June 2007 on a free transfer. He had been offered a contract by Crewe, but chose to turn the offer down as he felt he was unlikely to get into the team ahead of Luke Varney and Nicky Maynard. He scored twice on his Falkirk debut against Gretna.

Born in Liverpool, he began his career with Crewe Alexandra where he came through the youth team before making the break into their first eleven in 2003. In 2007, he joined Scottish side Falkirk and then St Mirren in 2009 and Motherwell in 2011. After being a regular goal scorer in the Scottish Leagues, Higdon then moved to Dutch side NEC Nijmegen where he spent one season before signing for Sheffield United.

Higdon progressed from the Crewe Alexandra youth team into their first team in 2003. He was originally used as a midfielder, but due to his height and physical presence, he was converted into a striker by manager Dario Gradi. Higdon's most famous moment for Crewe came against Coventry City in the last game of the 2004–05 season, where Crewe had to win to have a chance of staying up. They went 1-0 down but Higdon scored the equaliser to set up Steve Jones to score the winner which kept Crewe Alexandra in the Championship.
