Ryan Astley

Ryan Astley of Dundee was born in Llanfair Caereinion, Wales on 4 October 2001 (age 23).

Ryan Astley, born on the 4th of October 2001 in Wales, has made a name for himself as a reliable defender who primarily plays as a central defender for Dundee. Standing firm at 6ft (1.84m) and tipping the scales at 12st 3lb (78kg), he cuts an imposing figure on the pitch, suited to his role in the heart of the defence. He dons the number 4 jersey for his club, and his presence in the team is a guarantee of defensive solidity.

According to Transfermarkt, Astley's current market value sits around £509k. His contract with Dundee still has quite a bit of road left, as it runs until the 31st of May 2026; a grand total of 1 year and 5 months at the time of writing.

It was July 2017 when Astley started his journey in professional football, joining Everton as a trainee. The Premier League offered him the chance to hone his skills at one of England's top-flight clubs. In July 2022, Astley took a slight detour in his career pathway, moving from Everton to Accrington Stanley in England's League Two on loan. His debut season with Stanley saw him make 23 first team appearances and contributed one goal in league matches

Impressively, upon the completion of his loan at Accrington Stanley, Astley returned to Everton in June 2023. His stay would be short-lived, however, as he moved on to Dundee in Scotland's Premiership in January 2024 for an undisclosed fee. During the 2023-2024 season, Astley made three appearances for Dundee in league matches. He has settled well in his current season, having made 17 first-team appearances in league matches.

Astley's contributions aren't just limited to league play - he also participated in the League Cup 2024-2025 for Dundee. He scored one goal in three starts and made two appearances as a substitute. This demonstrates both his versatility and his ability to perform when called upon.
