Dylan Tait

Dylan Tait of Dundee United was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 1 December 2001 (age 24).

Dylan Tait, born on 1 December 2001 (age 24), is a Scottish central midfielder with Dundee United. His current market value is around £680,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His career to this point is still shaped most clearly by Falkirk. Across two seasons there, he made 71 league appearances and scored five goals, giving him the kind of sustained first-team grounding young midfielders do not always get. His best league return came in 2025-2026, with three goals from 38 appearances.

At Dundee United in 2025-2026, Tait remained firmly involved rather than drifting to the edge of the squad. He made 46 appearances in all competitions, scoring four times, with his work spread across the league, League Cup and Scottish Cup.

Tait is an established Scottish professional whose record is built around regular football, particularly at Falkirk, with Dundee United now the stage for the next stretch of his career.

Tait's transfer history is low-fee and development-led. Hibernian sent him on loans to Arbroath, Hamilton Academical and Falkirk, before Falkirk made the move permanent for an undisclosed fee in July 2024. Dundee United then signed him from Falkirk on a free transfer in July 2026, a move that suggests value in a player who had already built up a sizeable appearance record.
