Ryan Porteous

Ryan Porteous of Watford was born in Dalkeith, Scotland on 25 March 1999 (age 25)

Ryan Porteous, a native of Scotland, was born on 25th March 1999 and presently serves as a central defender for Watford at the age of 25. Standing tall at 6ft 2in (1.88m) and weighing 11st 11lb (75kg), he still cuts an imposing figure on the field, donning the number 5 jersey. Apart from his club obligations, Porteous has also had the privilege of representing the Scotland national team.

Our records take us back to July 2016, where he was transferred from Hibernian in the Premiership to Edinburgh City in League Two, both in Scotland, on loan. At Edinburgh City during the 2016-2017 season, Porteous made 23 first team appearances and chimed in with three goals in league matches. Upon the completion of his loan in July 2017, Porteous returned to Hibernian in the Premiership. This transition marked an evolution in his playing career, where he recorded significant progress, each season better than the last.

Over the subsequent seasons at Hibernian, his performance records illustrate a steady climb. During 2017-2018, he chalked up six first team appearances and a single goal. The following 2018-2019 season saw him score three goals in his 16 appearances. His performance held steady during the 2019-2020 season, where he took part in 14 matches and scored one goal. The 2020-2021 season was a landmark for him, making 34 appearances on the pitch and netting one goal. During 2021-2022, he stepped onto the field 29 times and found the back of the net twice. Lastly, he featured in 21 matches for Hibernian in the 2022-2023 season, scoring three goals.

In January 2023, Porteous transferred from Hibernian to Watford in the Championship, England for a fee hovering around £500k. His time in England also marked an upward curve in his playing form. During his inaugural 2022-2023 season at Watford, he made 17 first-team appearances and scored two goals. Likewise, in the subsequent 2023-2024 season, he featured in 37 matches and netted two goals. As for the current 2024-2025 season, he has made six appearances for Watford thus far.

Aside from his league performances, Porteous took part in various prestigious tournaments like the FA Cup 2023-2024 for Watford where he started once and covered as a substitute once, League Cup 2024-2025 for Watford where he started twice, Euro 2024 for Scotland where he had one start, and Euro Qualifiers 2022-2024 for Scotland, scoring one goal across seven starts.
