Craig Halkett, born on 29 May 1995 (age 31), is a Scottish central defender with Hearts, where he wears squad number 4. His career took shape through early loan football before he established himself properly at Livingston, a sensible enough route for a defender who needed senior minutes rather than polite academy promises.
Livingston gave him the platform. His strongest attacking return came in 2018-19, when he scored seven goals in 34 league appearances – a useful haul for a centre-half and a reminder that his value has not been limited to clearing his lines.
At Hearts, Halkett has remained a first-team regular rather than a squad ornament. In 2025-26 he made 30 league appearances and scored four league goals, along with one Scottish Cup appearance, taking him to 31 appearances and four goals in all competitions for the season.
His current market value is around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt. Halkett’s career has been a steady Scottish top-flight one: loan grounding, a strong Livingston spell, and continuing relevance at Hearts.
