Our star of the day, Kai Fotheringham, popped into existence on April 18, 2003, and has since devoted his time on this Earth primarily to being a forward and right winger for Dundee United, a pursuit we can all admire. Upright and unmatched in his ability to defy gravity, he stands at 5ft 6in (1.69m) and tips the scales at a sturdy 10st 5lb (66kg). The number 18 jersey is his garment of choice, a decision we're sure has deep and meaningful symbolism.
When it comes to throwing around numbers that reflect his worth in the brutally mercantile world of football, we're looking at a current market value of around £315k, labouriously converted from Euro, mind you (the source of this appallingly capitalist info being Transfermarkt). His contract with Dundee United is mercifully set to expire on May 31, 2025, giving us all something to look forward to.
In the halcyon days of July 2018, our man Kai ventured into the fray as a trainee with Dundee United, a brave lad of only fifteen summers. His footballing journey's seen him parade his skills across a variety of venues in Scotland, with numerous appearances in league matches for all manner of teams. Dundee United, Falkirk, Raith Rovers, Cove Rangers or Stirling Albion, Fotheringham has strutted his stuff across the length and breadth of the Scottish football landscape.
But let us not forget the signpost seasons; those landmark years which saw our illustrious subject really leave a foot-sized dent on the pitch. Following his debut season at Dundee United in 2020-2021, the years 2022 to 2024 saw him make an increasing barrage of first team appearances, even managing to hammer home a dozen goals in the '23-'24 season. As of the 2024-2025 season, he's kept up the momentum, evidently opting for quality over quantity with his 15 first team appearances.
A prolific tourer and determined borrower, Fotheringham has dabbled in loan spells with Falkirk, Raith Rovers, Cove Rangers, and Stirling Albion. Indeed, he proved potent enough at Stirling Albion to score five goals in his 15 first team appearances in the 2022-2023 season.
Let's not forget to pay due homage to his goal-studded performance in the League Cup 2024-2025 for Dundee United, where he graced the field for two starts and two substitute appearances. A true testament to Scottish football's talent pool, he is.
