Neil Farrugia

Neil Farrugia of Dundee United was born in Paris, France on 19 May 1999 (age 26).

Neil Farrugia, born 19 May 1999 (age 26), hails from France and currently defends Dundee United's turf, primarily operating as a left back. Standing at 6ft 1in (1.87m) tall and tipping the scales at 13 stone (83kg), this number 20 jersey-clad player undoubtedly brings a formidable presence to the field.

Farrugia's current market worth is around £107,000, an evaluation made by renowned sports site Transfermarkt.

In this lad's eye-opening journey through the football world, Farrugia initially joined UCD in the Republic of Ireland's First Division in January 2017, for a fee which remains undisclosed. Displaying promising potential in his debut season of 2019, Farrugia saw action in 18 first team games and secured one goal in league duels.

A significant chapter of Farrugia's career unfolded in July 2019, where he made a switch from UCD to Shamrock Rovers, another club in the Republic of Ireland but one that competes in the higher-tier Premier Division. Sparking an exciting innings at Shamrock Rovers, Farrugia's performance escalated from playing three first team games in the inaugural season to significantly participating in the next succeeding seasons with a tally of 14, 11, 23, 27, and 22 first team appearances, respectively. During this time, he also found the back of the net a total of ten times in league matches.

In January 2025, Farrugia treaded on fresh turf as he transferred to Barnsley, a club in England's League One. Following a year in the English league, Farrugia ventured northwards in January 2026, signing with Dundee United, a club in the prestigious Scottish Premiership, for another undisclosed fee.

In the current 2025 - 2026 season with Dundee United, Farrugia has already clocked eight first team appearances in league matches. Moreover, he relished the opportunity to participate in the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026, albeit as a substitute.
