Our dear Dylan Easton, a figure of unrelenting mediocrity in the Scottish football scene. Born on that fateful day, 6th April 1994, the midfield maestro (or so they claim) now jogs about the pitch for Raith Rovers. His stats: a pocket-sized 5 foot 8 (1.75m for those embracing metric measures) and weighing in at a featherlight 11 stone (70kg).
As he tucks in his number 23 jersey, this 30-year-old marvel apparently has a market value of around €250k. That's approximately £210,000 according to my reliable currency calculator. Oh, that's according to Transfermarkt, by the way. His career at Raith Rovers is soon to end, with his contract set to expire on 31 May 2026, after a thrilling 1 year and 4 months.
Let's talk history, shall we? Easton, our journeyman extraordinaire, kicked off his career at Livingston in 2011. Two whole first team appearances that year - the lad was on fire. The following season, he doubled his effort and managed four first team appearances.
From then on, Easton embarked on a nomadic journey across Scotland. Livingston, Berwick, St. Johnstone, Arbroath, Dumbarton, Elgin City, Clyde, Forfar Athletic, Kelty Hearts, Airdrieonians, and finally, Raith Rovers. A grand tour, if you will.
His time in Raith Rovers seems to have been somewhat productive. The 2022-2023 season saw Easton display a veritable goal frenzy, notching up 4 goals in 32 appearances. And the floodgates truly opened the following season with an earth-shattering 8 goals in 34 appearances. Ah, the glory. Currently weaving his magic in the 2024-2025 season, Easton has already repeated his heroics, scoring 7 times in 21 games. Positively prolific.
His involvement in the League Cup, Scottish Cup, and Premiership Play-offs in recent years indicates a healthy lifestyle, an active participation in these less notable tournaments. Don't hold your breath for his addition to the annual record books, though.
