Blair Spittal, born on 19 December 1995 in Scotland, now at the ripe age of 29, is a recognised force in the midfield. He is currently at Hearts, wearing the number 16 jersey. Known for his ability as a central attacking midfielder, Spittal stands tall at 6ft (1.84m) and weighs in at 12st 1lb (77kg).
Spittal's market value circles around the €850k mark. However, when translating this to the currency of his homeland, his value rises to approximately £720k, as stated by Transfermarkt. His contract with Hearts is set to expire on 31 May 2027, granting him 2 years and 4 months of secure employment ahead.
Spittal first came into prominence back in July 2012 when he joined Queen's Park in the Championship in Scotland. Building his ability during the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons, he marked 16 and 36 first-team appearances respectively, scoring a combined total of 9 goals.
In July 2014, he made the move from Queen's Park to join Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership. During his three-season stint from 2014 to 2017, Spittal was a frequent figure on the pitch, scoring 9 goals across 82 appearances.
Seeking new pastures, he transferred from Dundee United to Partick Thistle in July 2017. With Thistle, Spittal made 33 first-team appearances and scored four goals in the 2017 - 2018 season. Fast forward two years to July 2019, Spittal transferred to Ross County in the Premiership. His time at Ross County was dotted by a loan back to Partick Thistle in October 2020, but otherwise, he scored a total of 8 goals across 89 appearances for Ross County spanning three seasons.
Spittal saw new opportunities in July 2022 and moved from Ross County to join Motherwell, also of Scotland's Premiership. His tenure at Motherwell was fruitful, scoring 15 goals across 73 appearances in two seasons.
Emerging from Motherwell, Spittal made the shift to Hearts. With 25 first team appearances and four goals under his belt already in the 2024 - 2025 season, both he and the team look set for an exciting future. Here, he has been involved in various cup ties including the League Cup, the Scottish Cup, the Europa League Qualifiers, and the Conference League.
