Graham Carey

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

Born on 20 May 1989 in the Republic of Ireland, the 35-year-old forward Graham Carey is primarily recognised for playing as a left winger for St Johnstone. Topping a height of 6ft (1.83m) and weighing 11st 9lb (74kg), Carey dons the number 11 jersey.

According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is estimated around €150k, or approximately £135k. His ongoing contract with St Johnstone is due to expire on the 31st of May, 2025, with just 2 months remaining.

Carey's career trajectory took off in February 2009, with a loan transfer from Celtic in the Scottish Premiership to Bohemian FC in the Premier Division of the Republic of Ireland. In his debut season with Bohemian FC, Carey graced the first team with 15 appearances and netted two goals in league matches.

By February 2010, Carey transitioned from Celtic, once again on loan, this time to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership. During his time at St Mirren, from 2009 to 2013, Carey made various season appearances tallying 15, 29, and 26 respectively, while also scoring six goals in league matches. His final match for St Mirren was in the 2012 - 2013 season.

July 2010 marked yet another temporary departure from Celtic for Carey, who was loaned out to Huddersfield Town in the League One in England. In his season at Huddersfield, Carey made 19 appearances for the first team and scored two league match goals.

In July 2011, Carey left Celtic for an undisclosed fee and transferred permanently to his previous loan club, St Mirren, where he continued his stable performance, making tens of appearances in three seasons and netting six goals.

July 2013 saw Carey transfer from St Mirren to Ross County, both in the Scottish Premiership. During his two seasons there, he made 58 league appearances and scored five goals.

With July 2015 came another page-turner in Carey's career as he moved from Ross County to Plymouth Argyle in the Championship in England. His performance there was noteworthy, making over 100 appearances in three seasons and netting 32 goals. His final season was in 2017 - 2018.

In July 2019, Carey made a big move from Plymouth Argyle to CSKA Sofia in the First League in Bulgaria. During his three seasons with CSKA Sofia, he made 68 league appearances and scored five goals. However, in July 2022, Carey returned to the Scottish Premiership, signing with St Johnstone.

During his current tenure at St Johnstone, Carey has made notable impacts in the 2022 - 2023, 2023 - 2024, and the ongoing 2024 - 2025 seasons, making a total of 96 appearances, and scoring eight goals.

Additionally, Carey has also participated in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 for St Johnstone, making four starts and netting a goal. In the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025, he scored a goal in two starts and two appearances as a substitute.
