Finlay Pollock, born on the 27th of June 2004 in Scotland, is a figure to be reckoned with on the field. Weighing in at 10st 9lb (68kg) and with a height of 5ft 10in (1.78m), his physical attributes complement his position as a central attacking midfielder. He plays for Hearts and proudly wears the number 24 jersey. His journey in football has been impressive, considering his age.
According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is approximately £64k, a testament to his potential and skill set. However, numbers seldom provide the full story of a footballer's career.
Pollock joined Hearts as a trainee in July 2019 and quickly made his mark. In his debut season (2023-2024) he made a first-team appearance, a commendable feat for a young player in the Scottish Premiership. Yet, Pollock's time on the field for the current season (2025-2026) has yet to materialise. But football is unpredictable and patience can often prove fruitful.
In a bid to gain more experience, Pollock transferred to East Fife in League One on loan in February 2022. Far from sitting on the sidelines, he returned to Hearts on completion of his loan in June 2022, appearing again in the first team. However, his football journey led him to another loan spell, this time at Raith Rovers in the Championship.
Playing in the 2024-2025 season at Raith Rovers, Pollock notched up 23 first-team appearances and impressive six goals in league matches. There is no doubt that this experience with Raith Rovers refined his skills and possibly moulded him into the player he is today. After a fruitful season, he returned to Hearts, ready to showcase his honed skills in the Premiership once more.
Although Pollock has yet to make a significant impact in the current season at Hearts, there's a chance he could surprise us. Persistence, after all, is a virtue often rewarded in football.
