Well, let's chew the fat on Glenn Middleton, shall we? Born on New Year's day in 2000, this English lad has spent a good portion of his 25 years chasing a football around. A forward by trade, predominantly occupying the left wing position, Middleton currently plies his trade at Dundee United. For those interested, he clocks in at 5ft 9in (1.76m) and weighs a respectable 10st 9lb (68kg). He's adorned with the not-so-illustrious number 15 jersey.
According to the all-knowing football oracle, Transfermarkt, his current market value hovers around a fascinating approx £300k. His contract with Dundee United runs until the rip-roaring climax of May 31, 2025. Yes, you've got it right. That's barely four short months from now.
Middleton began his professional career being carted off to Norwich City as a trainee in the halcyon days of 2012. After a good six year spell learning the ropes, he uprooted his life and moved across the border, trading the Championship for the Scottish Premiership, joining Rangers for a tantalisingly undisclosed fee. Here, he had what we might generously term an 'intermittent' breakthrough season in 2018 - 2019, making 15 appearances and knocking in two goals.
In an absolutely thrilling turn of events, Middleton found himself shipped out on loan to Hibernian in 2019, managing a grand total of six appearances. Alas, the lights of the Premiership clearly missed his talents, as he was soon recalled to Rangers at the start of 2020. Yup, once again he was paraded on the pitch a staggering 15 times, repeating his former glory by potting two goals.
Ever the wanderer, Middleton found himself in the dizzying heights of England's League Two, playing for Bradford City on yet another thrilling loan spell in January 2020. However, it was not long-lasting, and he was promptly returned to the comfortable oasis of mediocrity known as Rangers in June 2020.
Chasing that elusive regular spot, our brave hero embarked on yet another Scottish Premiership adventure, this time at St Johnstone. He notched nine appearances with two goals in 2020 - 2021 and showed marked improvement next season by making 28 appearances and scoring, well, just the one goal.
In the summer of 2022, our intrepid adventurer eventually found a more permanent dwelling at Dundee United, prised away for another undisclosed fee. Here, consistency appears to have become the flavour of the day. In 2022 - 2023, he played on 29 occasions and scored twice. He only went and outdid himself the following season by playing a whopping 36 times, even managing to bag four goals. This season? He's clocked up 19 appearances and stuck the ball in the onion bag just once.
Finally, let's not forget his cup exploits. Middleton ran out twice as a starter in the 2024 - 2025 League Cup and cropped up as a substitute four times. Not to mention a single substitute appearance in the Scottish Cup in the same season. A true cup specialist, indeed.
