George Stanger, born on 15 August 2000 (age 25), is a New Zealand central defender with Kilmarnock. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.91m), he wears squad number 14 and is valued at around £170,000 by Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came with Alloa Athletic in 2022–2023, when he scored three goals in 25 appearances. That spell gave him a decent platform rather than a headline, which is often how centre-halves have to go about their business.
At Kilmarnock, Stanger has remained a regular first-team presence in 2025–2026. He has made 20 league appearances, scoring twice, along with three League Cup appearances, giving him 23 appearances and two goals across all competitions for the club this season.
Stanger’s career so far has moved from proving himself at Alloa to holding down a place at Kilmarnock. He is an established professional defender, still involved week to week and still building his senior record.
