Chris Kane, born on 5 September 1994 (age 31), is a Scottish striker with Dunfermline Athletic, where he wears the number 20 shirt. His current market value is around £43,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His career is shaped above all by St Johnstone. Early loan spells helped put senior miles in his legs, but Perth was where he settled, with 199 league appearances and 26 league goals across 11 seasons. For a striker, those are not gaudy numbers, but they speak to endurance, usefulness and a fair bit of trust from successive teams.
Kane was also part of a St Johnstone period that brought a Scottish Cup and a League Cup. That matters. Plenty of players pass through clubs without leaving much more than a squad photo behind; Kane’s long stay came with proper silverware attached.
He moved on to Dunfermline Athletic and had his most productive league season in 2024–25, scoring 11 goals in 28 appearances. In 2026–27, he has made three league appearances, along with three Championship appearances, three League Cup appearances with one goal, four Scottish Cup appearances with two goals, and four Premiership play-off appearances with one goal.
Kane’s career has been that of a steady Scottish centre-forward: developed through loans, established at St Johnstone, and now continuing at Dunfermline. The St Johnstone years remain the substantial part of the story.
