Declan Gallagher, born on 13th February 1991 in Scotland, currently plies his trade as a central defender for Dundee United. A commanding presence on the pitch, he stands at 6ft 5in (1.96m) and weighs 14st 9lb (93kg). He dons the No. 31 jersey for his side.
His current market value is circling about £213k, as per the acclaimed football database Transfermarkt. Gallagher looks set to be within reach for interested clubs as his contract with Dundee United is slated to conclude as of 31st May 2025.
The early chapters of Gallagher's career were written at Celtic where he only featured intermittently and was loaned out to Stranraer in League Two during the 2010-2011 season where he went on to produce respectable numbers with three goals in 26 appearances. The script for the following season followed a similar pattern, with Gallagher again being shipped out on loan from Celtic, this time to Clyde, and again finding the net twice in the course of making 25 appearances. It is apparent that Gallagher's Celtic career was marked by a perpetual battle for playing time, leading to his eventual departures on loan.
His quest for regular football led him to Dundee in 2012, then a side playing in the Scottish Premiership. Gallagher's tenure at Dundee saw him become a mainstay in the team, with noteworthy contributions in the 2013-2014 season, scoring four goals in 36 league outings.
In 2014, he moved to Livingston, having procured a regular spot in the line-up. He enjoyed a productive few years here, culminating in an impressive 2018-2019 season, with one goal in 38 league appearances.
A trip elsewhere seemed in the cards for Gallagher, however, he joined Livingston again in 2017, right where he left off, being a pivotal figure in the central defence. His success at Livingston set the stage for a move to Motherwell in 2019, where he remained a fixture in the line-up, notching up three goals across his two seasons.
Post Motherwell, Gallagher had stints at Aberdeen, St Mirren and finally Dundee United, whom he joined in 2023. He made 26 appearances in his debut season at Dundee and has clocked up 24 in the current 2024-2025 season. Moreover, he's been instrumental in their cup runs, having featured in both the League Cup and Scottish Cup of the ongoing season.
