Reece McAlear

Reece McAlear of St Johnstone was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 12 February 2002 (age 24).

Reece McAlear, born on 12 February 2002 (age 24), is a Scottish central midfielder with St Johnstone. Wearing squad number 42, he has been a regular first-team presence in 2025–26 rather than a fringe name filling space on the bench.

His most productive league season has come in that 2025–26 campaign, with five goals in 35 Championship appearances for St Johnstone. For a centre midfielder, that is useful output without needing to dress it up as something more dramatic.

His current market value is around £170,000, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, McAlear’s profile is that of an established professional still building his career through regular football at St Johnstone.
