Ah, Andy Halliday, a native of our fine himself, asks you to be reminded of who he is. Born on the rainy day of October 18th, 1991 (which makes him 33 for those slow on calculations), this footballer has pledged his midfield talents to the Motherwell club. Standing at approximately 5ft 8in (or 1.73m for those addicted to the metric system) and lugging around 10st 7lb (67kg for the metrically inclined), he carries the weight of the number 11 on his shoulders and back.
Sure, he knows his way around the field, his current market value hovering around the €200k mark. And yes, that's painfully equivalent to £170k, give or take a wee bit, thanks to Transfermarkt. His contract with Motherwell takes us all the way through to the 31st of May 2026, a date I'm sure is circled in red on their calendars.
It all started back in July 2007 when Halliday upped sticks to join Livingston, cutting his teeth in the Scottish Championship as a trainee. He enjoyed a peak year at Livingston in the 2009-10 season with 14 glorious goals, before the English rang his number and he ended up at Middlesbrough for a rather economical £100k in 2010.
After dancing between Middlesbrough, Walsall, and Blackpool - shedding blood, sweat, goals, and first-team appearances - he found himself at Bradford City by 2014. It wasn't long though before the call of the haggis became too strong, leading him back to our beloved homeland with a spot at Rangers in 2015, an adventure that saw a varied goal tally over the years, and a peculiar diversion to Azerbaijan with a club that's frankly a typist's nightmare, Qəbələ.
He graced Hearts later in 2020 then took a temporary sojourn at Motherwell, seeming to find his groove on loan with 12 first team appearances and a goal to boast about in the 2023-24 season. So, permanently, he headed to Motherwell in 2024, with the tally already up to 38 appearances and three goals. Let's just say the club is thrilled.
And lest we forget, he's also dipped his toes in the cups. In the 2024-25 League Cup, he played 6 matches, scoring once in the process. And yes, he gingerly contributed to the Scottish Cup for Motherwell in the following year. A real trooper, isn't he?
