Callum Slattery is an accomplished 26-year-old English midfielder, born on 8 February 1999, who typically operates in a central defensive position for Motherwell. Standing at an impressive 6ft 1in (1.86m) tall and securing a healthy weight of 12st 10lb (81kg), he strikes an imposing figure in the heart of the pitch. Currently wearing the number 8 jersey, Slattery's physicality is a key asset in his style of play.
According to Transfermarkt, Slattery's market value is close to €450k (£390k). His current contract with Motherwell is due to expire at the conclusion of the month of May in 2025, the player having only 6 months left on his deal.
Tracing his career back to its roots, Slattery joined Southampton's Premier League academy in July of 2015. He worked his way up through the youth ranks, making three first-team appearances during his debut season (2018 - 2019) for the Saints in England's top-flight. This was rather an exciting season for a young player finding his footing in the realm of professional football.
In an opportunity to gain valuable first-team experience, Slattery was loaned out to De Graafschap in the Eerste Divisie in the Netherlands in January 2020. Here, he graced the pitch in league matches five times and found the back of the net on one occasion during the 2019 - 2020 season.
The subsequent year brought more changes for Callum as he was once again on the move, this time switching to Gillingham in England's League Two on a loan deal in January 2021. His geographical mobility and the variety of leagues experienced undoubtedly enriched his footballing wisdom.
Come July 2021, Slattery made the transition from the south of England to the Scottish Premiership, signing for Motherwell for an undisclosed fee from Southampton. He embarked on what has been a rather eminent career at Motherwell, marking his debut 2021 - 2022 season with 31 appearances and two goals. Continued improvement was evident as he made 29 appearances and scored four goals in the following season, 2022 - 2023, despite a slight dip in the number of appearances. By the 2023 - 2024 season, Slattery had amassed a total of 20 appearances and a goal. However, so far in the current season - 2024 - 2025, Slattery has not featured in any league matches for Motherwell, a peculiar state of affairs for such a promising talent.
