Ryan Fulton, born on 23 May 1996 (age 30), is a Scottish goalkeeper with Hearts, where he wears squad number 30. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.91m), he has built a senior career around steady work rather than much noise. His market value is listed at around £43,000 by Transfermarkt.
His early development included a 2015-16 loan spell at Portsmouth, where he made 12 league appearances. That remains the busiest league season of his earlier career and gave him proper senior football at a stage when goalkeepers often spend too long waiting for someone else to get injured.
Hamilton Academical have been the main stretch of Fulton’s career. Across four seasons there, he made 71 league appearances, enough to make Accies the club most closely tied to his name. It was there he moved beyond the development-stage tag and settled into the rhythm of regular first-team football.
Fulton is now at Hearts, continuing a career shaped chiefly by that Hamilton spell, with Portsmouth an important early staging post. He is an established professional goalkeeper rather than a headline act, and his record reads much the same way.
