Kai Fotheringham

Kai Fotheringham of Dundee United was born on 18 April 2003 (age 22).

Without further ado, I present to you the story of a man born on the football-pitch battlefield. Yes, I'm talking about Kai Fotheringham, the wee lad born in Scotland on 18 April 2003. Marking his territory primarily as a right winger for Dundee United, this fine specimen of Scottish grit stands at a sturdy 5 feet 6 inches tall (1.69m if you prefer your measurements on the continental side), and tips the scales at a lean 10 stone 5 lbs (or 66kg for the metrically-inclined). Keen in his choice of armour, he struts about in the number 18 jersey.

Now, for those of a more mercantile disposition, Fotheringham currently fetches around £315k on the open market - details according to Transfermarkt. We'd best hope his performances on the pitch warrant that price, because let's not forget his contract with Dundee United is set to expire come 31 May 2025.

Pardon my trip down memory lane, but it feels only yesterday when in July 2018, a wide-eyed Fotheringham joined Dundee United as a trainee. He found his footing gradually, no fuss there, with a single first team appearance in his debut season. Slow and steady, as they say.

In the merry-go-round of modern football, Kai was swept off to Falkirk on loan in March 2021. But just like a boomerang, he came spinning back to Dundee United in June 2021 to further cut his teeth in the big boy's league, recording a promising tally of 11 appearances in the 2022-23 season. Want a more exciting season? Look no further than the 2023-24 season, when Fotheringham blasted in 12 goals in 35 appearances. Tasty. He carried on this momentum in the current season with 15 appearances already under his belt.

The tour of Scotland continued though, with Fotheringham visiting the delightful folks at Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers on separate loan stints where he returned from both as promised. A quick, but valuable, detour to Stirling Albion yielded a return of five goals in 15 appearances during the 2022-23 season. All part of the great Scottish footballing tapestry, mind you.

Finally, don't forget Fotheringham's quiet contribution in the League Cup for Dundee United during the 2024-25 season. Just a small detail to round up Fotheringham's tale and, if I'm being honest, to fill out this paragraph. So there you have it, a short and sporadic biography of a bloke who simply loves to boot a ball around. Simple as that.
