Ryan Strain is an Australian right-back, born on 2 April 1997 (age 29), who plays for Dundee United. He stands 5ft 11in (1.81m) and weighs 12st (76kg), with the number 2 shirt at Tannadice.
His career has settled into the shape of a reliable senior professional rather than a headline act. A right-back by trade, Strain’s best league return came in 2022-23, when he scored four goals in 36 appearances. That is useful output from a defender, without requiring anyone to get carried away.
In 2025-26, Strain has made 17 league appearances for Dundee United and scored once. His current market value is around £383,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Strain’s profile is straightforward: an established Australian full-back operating in Scottish football, with Dundee United his current club and his strongest statistical league season coming in 2022-23.
