Makenzie Kirk was brought into this world on the cold Scottish winter day of 6 February 2004, making him a young chap of 21 years of age. Originally hailing from Scotland, Kirk took the well-trodden path to football stardom, focusing his talent as a forward, and more often than not, working his magic as a dependable striker.
Today, he plies his trade with St Johnstone, a reputable challenge for any player looking to make his mark in the world of football. Standing a proud 6 feet tall (1.83m for those of a metric persuasion) and weighing a lean 10st 7lb (67kg for those with an aversion to imperial measurements), he makes an imposing figure on the pitch. You will often see him with the number 27 emblazoned on his jersey.
As a professional footballer, one's worth is often monetarily quantified and Kirk's current market value stands at a modest £300k, as reported by Transfermarkt.
Beginning his professional journey, Kirk signed on the dotted line with Hearts in the Scottish Premiership as a fresh faced trainee in July 2020. His debut season of 2021 - 2022 saw him pull on the Hearts jersey for a solitary first team appearance in the league.
In an unexpected twist of events, come January 2024, Kirk was loaned out to Hamilton Academical in the Scottish Championship. Simultaneously highlighting the unpredictable nature of football and the young striker's adaptability. Barely a blink later in July 2024, he was off again, this time making a permanent move to St Johnstone in the Premiership. The transfer fee remains a mystery, locked away in the annals of football's secret dealings.
Currently, for the 2024 - 2025 season at St Johnstone, Kirk is leaving no stone unturned, making 31 first-team appearances and proudly contributing seven goals in league matches. Not one to shirk duties in other competitions, he's also had a hand in the League Cup and Scottish Cup, resulting in two goals from seven appearances of varying playing time. This lad certainly knows where the back of the net is.
