Graham Carey

Graham Carey of St Johnstone was born in Blanchardstown, Rep. Ireland on 20 May 1989 (age 35).

Graham Carey, the Irish forward who now plays for St Johnstone, was born on 20 May 1989, making him 35 years of age. He predominantly operates as a left winger and sports the number 11 jersey. Physically, he stands at a height of 6ft (1.83m) and weighs 11st 9lb (74kg).

The value of this player in the current market is approximately £127,000, as reported by Transfermarkt. It's also worth mentioning that Carey's contract with St Johnstone is due to run its course and expire on 31 May 2025, with only two months left at the time of writing.

Carey's career has seen him moving clubs frequently, with the first notable move occurring when he was loaned to Bohemian FC in Ireland in February 2009, after beginning his career at Celtic in the Scottish Premiership. During his 2009 season with Bohemian FC, Carey managed to make a robust 15 first team appearances and scored two goals in league matches.

After his stint at Bohemian FC, Carey returned to Celtic, only to be loaned out again, this time to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership, in February 2010. A yet more notable chapter in Carey's career began in 2010, when the winger was transferred to Huddersfield Town in the third tier of English football, the League One. Notching 19 first team appearances and two goals in league matches in the 2010-2011 season, Carey demonstrated his worth to the team.

Despite showing promise at Huddersfield, Carey returned to Scotland in July 2011, moving once more to St Mirren, this time on a permanent basis for an undisclosed fee. His performance for St Mirren included making 70 first team appearances and scoring six goals in league matches across three seasons.

Further establishments on Carey's footballing CV include playing in Ross County and Plymouth Argyle. Following a two-year stay at Ross County from 2013 to 2015, Carey migrated south of the border to Plymouth Argyle in 2015, where his strong performance spanned three seasons consisting of 110 first team appearances and netting 32 goals in league matches.

Interestingly, Carey ventured out of the British Isles and headed to CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria's First League in July 2019. Across three seasons, Carey appeared 68 times for CSKA Sofia and potted five goals in league matches.

After three seasons in Bulgaria, Carey returned to Scotland. He transferred to St Johnstone in the Premiership in July 2022. His current tally at St Johnstone stands at 96 first team appearances and eight goals in league matches as of the 2024-2025 season.

Lastly, Carey's participation in St Johnstone's cup journeys merits mention. In the 2024-2025 League Cup, he scored a goal in his four starts, and he also found the back of the net once in the Scottish Cup the same year, this time in a single start and two substitute appearances.
