Kieran Tierney, a native of Scotland, was born on the 5th of June, 1997 and is currently aged 27. He is known for holding the fort in defensive positions, predominantly as a left back, for the distinguished club, Arsenal. Measuring 1.78m (or 5ft 10in) in height and weighing in at approximately 76kg (that's 11st 13lb), Tierney's presence on the field wears the number 3 jersey. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be £8.5m.
The player's journey with the sport saw him joining forces with Celtic in July 2014, when the Scottish Premiership beckoned. His initial 2014-2015 season with Celtic provided him with two first team appearances in league matches. As the seasons wore on, Tierney established himself as a reliable asset to the team, appearing 23 times and netting a goal during the 2015-2016 season, making 24 appearances and scoring once again in the 2016-2017 season, and making a whopping 32 appearances and scoring thrice in the 2017-2018 season. Come the 2018-2019 season, Tierney bolstered Celtic's defences in 21 league matches.
Time eventually facilitated a move to the English Premier League, with Arsenal securing Tierney's skills in August 2019 for a substantial fee of approximately £25m. His maiden season with Arsenal in 2019-2020 featured 15 first team appearances and resulted in one goal. The seasons that followed kept Tierney consistently on the pitch, with 27 appearances and a goal each in the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons, and 27 appearances in the 2022-2023 season. At present in the 2024-2025 season, he has made one first team appearance.
Amidst his tenure at Arsenal, the player briefly transitioned to La Liga side, Real Sociedad in August 2023 on loan. Spain saw Tierney making 20 first team appearances during the 2023-2024 season. The loan term completed in June 2024, and Tierney was reintegrated into the Arsenal squad. With his return, he has continued to play for Arsenal, making 22, 27, and currently 1 league first team appearances across the 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2024-2025 seasons respectively.
The 2024-2025 season has also featured Tierney participating in the FA Cup for Arsenal, having made an appearance as a substitute, and starting in the League Cup fixture. His antics on the pitch continue as his contract with Arsenal is set to expire on the 30th of June, 2025.
