Dujon Sterling - if I'm forced to pen a few words on him - entered this world on a crisp October day in 1999, which means he’s currently gracing the ripe old age of 26. Born in the land of Shakespeare (yes, you heard right - England) he spends his time masquerading as a defender for none other than Rangers. And, as if that’s not thrilling enough, he's specifically a right back.
Towering at an impressive 6ft 1in (or 1.86m if you favour the less romantic metric system) and weighing in at a sturdy 12st 10lb (or 81kg for those that way inclined) - he dons the not-so-momentous number 21 jersey.
Now, let me take you back on a whirlwind journey to July 2015, before the political farce that is Brexit and when Sterling, bless his cotton socks, was still wet behind the ears. He paved his own rags-to-riches (or should that be trainee-to-paid?) in the Premier League with Chelsea. According to Transfermarkt.
Managing to grab everyone’s attention in his three-year tenure at Chelsea, our friend Sterling was rewarded with a transfer. Well, kind of. The poor lad was just shipped out on loan to Coventry City in July 2018. But wait, the football gods weren’t finished with him yet. In August 2019, another loan beckoned, this time to none other than Wigan Athletic - yes, the same league one team!
At Wigan, he managed to wriggle into their first team a whole eight times in league matches. Incredible, right? However, the star didn't stop there. He went on to cut his teeth at Blackpool, on loan again, naturally. His time there was highlighted by 24 first team appearances in league matches.
Then, what can only be correctly noted as a Cinderella saga, young Sterling received yet another transfer. Off he was, on loan of course, to Stoke City in the Championship in September 2022.
For those keeping track, that’s four clubs in about as many years. Quite the jet setter, or should I say bus tripper? Following his stint at Stoke city, where he made another 26 first team appearances, young Sterling bagged a transfer to none other than Rangers in the Premiership in sunny Scotland.
Now perched on his fifth roost after Chelsea, Coventry, Wigan, Blackpool, and Stoke, Sterling made 24 first team appearances in his inaugural season at Rangers. This was followed by a slight dip in form, managing 20 appearances in the following season. In the current 2025 - 2026 season, Sterling seems to have developed an allergy to grass, making zero appearances to date. Shocking!
Oh, and I should probably mention, the lad managed to touch the ball just enough to score a goal in the Europa League 2023 - 2024 for Rangers. One kick, one goal. Now, that's Sterling for you.
