Josh Rae

Josh Rae of St Johnstone was born in Croy, Scotland on 17 October 2000 (age 24).

Josh Rae, a Scottish-born footballer, has been treading the greens since the 17th of October, 2000. Currently, at the tender age of 24, he's stacked up quite a record as a capable goalkeeper for Raith Rovers. Rae, towering over many with a height of 1.91 metres (6 feet 3 inches) and a solid frame coming in at 82 kg (12 stone 12 pounds), dons the number 63 jersey on the football pitch.

Based on current estimates by Transfermarkt, Rae's market value hovers around £176k. With just over a year left on his contract with Raith Rovers, it is set to expire in May 2026.

Rae's career has seen him travel across the landscapes of Scottish football. His travels started in November 2019 when he joined Queen's Park in Scotland's Championship. A month later in December, he made a shift to Edinburgh City in the League Two in Scotland.

At the beginning of 2020, he found a new home with Cowdenbeath in the Lowland League, only to move again in October 2020 to Peterhead in League Two. His 2021 brought further changes when he was loaned to Queen of the South in League One in January, only to return to Peterhead in March of the same year after the conclusion of his loan spell.

In the mid-year of 2021, Rae made another switch to Queen of the South and stayed in League One. This was followed by a move to Airdrieonians in the Championship in July of 2022. At Airdrieonians, he truly found his footing, making 8 first-time appearances in league matches during the 2022 - 2023 season and 26 such appearances in the 2023 - 2024 season.

By July 2024, Rae was ready for the big leagues and transferred to St Johnstone in the Premiership, where he made 14 first-team appearances in league matches during the 2024 - 2025 season. However, February 2025 saw him transferred on loan to Raith Rovers in the Championship, where thus far in the current 2024 - 2025 season, he is yet to make a first-team league appearance. Nevertheless, Rae participated in the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025 for Raith Rovers and had one start.
