Ryan Duncan, a robust figure in the oblivion of midfield warfare, popped into existence on the 18th January 2004, in Scotland. At a sprightly, yet restrained, 21 years of age, Duncan drapes the no. 23 jersey over his 1.85m (6ft) physique, weighing in at a nimble 67kg (10st 7lb). A steadfast soldier in the ranks of Aberdeen Football Club, his midfield capabilities unfurl primarily in the central echelon of the pitch.
According to Transfermarkt, Duncan's market value teeters around £272k; a fair appraisal, perhaps, for his fledgeling skills within an eager and unforgiving league.
His career with Aberdeen bloomed in the season of 2020-2021, albeit modestly with a single first-team appearance. But young saplings grow, and by 2022-2023 he'd matured into a more prominent role, netting his first goal within a broader field of 23 appearances. The following season, 2023-2024, saw a dip in fortune, with only nine appearances to match without any notch on his belt.
A brief interlude over at Queen's Park for the 2024-2025 season proved somewhat fruitful. Duncan graced the pitch with 31 appearances, bolstered by an encouraging two goals. Though, as lightning capriciously strikes, the 2025-2026 season has thus far seen him confined away from any first-team appearances back at his main residence, Aberdeen.
Despite the jaunty trajectory, during the Conference League tenure of 2023-2024 with Aberdeen, Duncan managed to amass three starts and made one substitute appearance. Perhaps an indication of a future steeped in promise or a testament to the ephemeral nature of footballing fortune, only time can tell.
