Liam Polworth, born on 12 October 1994 (age 31), is a Scottish central midfielder with Livingston. He was developed at Inverness Caledonian Thistle, where his route into senior football was helped by an early loan at Elgin City – the sort of spell that tends to strip a young midfielder of any illusions fairly quickly.
Back at Inverness, Polworth grew into a regular first-team player rather than a passing academy name. His most productive league season came in 2015-2016, when he scored six goals in 36 appearances for Caley Thistle, a useful return from central midfield and a fair marker of his best period there.
He later moved on to Motherwell, then Kilmarnock, before a spell with Dunfermline Athletic. Those moves gave him a familiar Scottish football career shape: Premiership experience, Championship miles, and enough versatility in midfield to keep finding work without much need for fuss.
Polworth is now at Livingston, wearing squad number 39. In 2025-2026, he has made three League Cup appearances for the club, taking his Livingston total to three appearances across all competitions, without a goal.
His career has been built across solid Scottish league service, from coming through at Inverness to his current role at Livingston. It is a straightforward record: a central midfielder with experience, shaped early by loan football and sustained by regular first-team spells.
