Liam Boyce

Liam Boyce of Heart of Midlothian was born in Belfast, N. Ireland on 8 April 1991 (age 33).

Liam Boyce hails from N. Ireland, born on the 8th of April in 1991. Now 33, Boyce has made a name for himself as a forward, typically playing as a striker for the team Hearts. Standing at 6ft tall (1.84m) and tipping the scales at 13st 5lbs (85kg), he dons the number 27 jersey for his team. As it stands, his market value sits roughly around £250k, according to Transfermarkt. His current contract with Hearts is set to expire on the 31st of May in 2025, with only 3 months remaining.

Boyce's career took him to SV Werder Bremen II in Germany's Regionalliga Nord back in August of 2010. In his debut season there, he made three first team appearances in league matches. His journey then brought him from Germany back to his native N. Ireland in January 2012, where he signed with Cliftonville in the Premiership. Over the course of 2011 - 2013, Boyce scored 30 goals in 49 appearances for the team and continued to impress in the following season with 21 goals in 36 appearances.

July 2014 saw Boyce move on to Ross County in the Scottish Premiership. Across his three-season stint in Scotland, he had a robust score-sheet, netting 48 goals in 99 appearances. His transfer to Burton Albion in England's League One came in July 2017, for a fee estimated around £500k. This new chapter saw Boyce score only three goals in 16 matches during the 2017 - 2018 season condition.

Having eventually swapped the Albion for Hearts in the Scottish Premiership in January 2020, for an actionable sum of around £150k, Boyce continued his football career in Scotland. Thus far, he has made 69 first team appearances for Hearts, with 14 goals to his name over five seasons, notching up ten starts in the current 2024 - 2025 season.

Boyce's match participation expands beyond domestic leagues though. He has also represented Hearts in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 with a single start, the Europa League Qualifiers 2024 - 2025 with a start and substitution appearance, as well as an additional two appearances as a substitute in the Conference League 2024 - 2025. It's fair to say Boyce's presence on the pitch is impactful.
