Gary Oliver

Gary Oliver of Falkirk was born on 14 July 1995 (age 30).

Born on 14 July 1995, Gary Oliver, a Scotsman, is a seasoned forward who now predominantly stars as a striker for Falkirk. Standing at a height of 5 feet 10 inches tall (1.78m) and weighing 11 stone 4 pounds (72kg), Oliver sports the number 18 jersey. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be around £64k.

History sees Oliver's journey through football begin with a move to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership in July 2013. His performance in the 2013-2014 season was a humble start, where he made eight appearances in league matches, and in the subsequent season, he upped his tally to nine appearances and a goal.

Oliver was disbursed on loan to Stenhousemuir, competing in Scotland's League One, in September 2014. Here, he made 11 appearances and scored two goals. After a brief sojourn, Oliver returned to Hearts in December that same year, where his first-team league appearance form sustained until the 2015-2016 season.

September 2015 saw another transfer, this time from Hearts to Queen of the South - a fellow competitor in Scotland's League One. His 2015-2016 season at Queen of the South marked a personal blooming where he achieved 28 first-team appearances and netted six goals.

Oliver's sojourns continued and in July 2016, he moved from Queen of the South to Greenock Morton, competing in the Championship league, where his form reached new heights. During his first season, Oliver appeared 30 times and scored seven goals, followed by a slight dip in form the next season.

The footballing carousel delivered Oliver once again to Queen of the South in July 2019. His performances here mirrored his previous stint at the same club in 2015-2016.

The August of 2020 beckoned Oliver back to Greenock Morton where this time around, he duplicated his past performances at the club from his participation in 2016 - 2018.

Fast forward to July 2022, the dependable striker found himself signing for Falkirk, competitors in the Scottish Premiership, where his performances have remained steady, demonstrating his vital contribution with numerous appearances and goals across the seasons.

More recently, his presence in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Falkirk has been as a reliable substitute, making three appearances off the bench.
