Kevin Nisbet, a Scottish-born football stalwart, was brought into the world on a chilly day of 8 March 1997. At the age of 27, Nisbet has established himself as a forward and principally as a striker for Aberdeen. With his 5ft 10in (1.8m) structure and a robust weight of 12st 1lb (77kg), he is an imposing physical presence on the pitch. The Scotland national team also came calling and Nisbet was proud to don the number 9 jersey for his country.
The gregarious forward has a current market value sitting around a cool €2.50m (£2.1m) as noted by Transfermarkt. His contract with Aberdeen has a life of 8 months left, with the sands of time due to expire on 31 May 2025.
Nisbet's football journey first took root at East Stirlingshire in the Lowland League in Scotland, joining in July 2014. A fruitful debut season of 2014 - 2015 saw him make 11 first team appearances and score a healthy six goals in league matches. This early success caught the attention of Partick Thistle in the Championship in Scotland which led to a transfer in July 2015. His stint at Partick Thistle until January 2018 saw him make a total of seventeen appearances for the club over three seasons.
A brief loan period at Ayr United enriched his experience and bolstered his goal tally with two goals in twenty appearances during the 2016 - 2017 season. Amid various loans and transfers throughout 2017 to 2020, including a stint at Hibernian where he scored an impressive 31 goals in 78 appearances, Nisbet finally found himself in the English Championship with Millwall. There, he netted five goals in 27 appearances before heading back to Scottish soil for a loan period with Aberdeen in August 2024. His current season at Aberdeen has seen six appearances and two well taken goals.
Further exploits include a strong showing at the League Cup 2024 - 2025 for Aberdeen, where he scored one goal in his sole start, and his contribution to the Euro Qualifiers 2022 - 2024 for Scotland with one appearance as a substitute.
