Givairo Read, a stalwart Dutch defender, was born on June 2nd, 2006, and aspires to dominate the right flank with Feyenoord Football Club in the Netherlands. At a sturdy 5 feet 9 inches tall (approx. 1.76m), and weighing a robust 11 stone 2 pounds (roughly 71kg), the 19-year-old dons the number 26 jersey with absolute pride.
Read's journey into professional football began during the 2022-2023 season with FC Volendam, where he was awarded a single first team appearance. A steady growth trajectory ensued and by the 2024-2025 season, he managed a substantial tally of 26 first team appearances for Feyenoord, supplementing his defensive duties with two significant goals. The current 2025-2026 season has seen Read make two first team appearances so far.
Apart from domestic football, Read also boasts of a fruitful international experience. He was part of the Feyenoord contingent in the Europa League 2023-2024 season where he made a single appearance as a substitute. In the Champions League Qualifiers during the 2025-2026 season, Read once again found himself on the pitch as a substitute for Feyenoord. Moreover, the KNVB Beker 2024-2025 season witnessed Read's offensive capability in action, netting the ball in a goal from two starts.
According to Transfermarkt, Read has built up a market value of around €16.00m, which falls approximately around £13.5m. A promising footballer indeed. Nonetheless, to the dismay of Celtic followers, Read never had the honour of gracing Celtic Park with his football prowess.
