Sam McClelland, a native of Northern Ireland, was born on the fourth day of January in the year two thousand and two, making him currently 22 years of age. McClelland is a footballer by profession who specialises in defence, specifically in the central defender position. He currently laces his boots for St Johnstone Football Club, where he dons the number 18 shirt. He stands at an impressive height of 6ft 3in (approximately 1.91m) and weighs in at 12st 6lb (roughly 79kgs).
At present, according to the website, Transfermarkt, McClelland's current market value hovers around the vicinity of £150k, a reasonable estimation given his skill and potential. An avid professional, McClelland is committed to playing for St Johnstone until the 31st of May, 2025, with his contract set to end in about nine months' time.
The young defender kicked off his professional career in earnest during the 2022-2023 season at Barrow, in England's labyrinthine football landscape. Making a reasonable start, McClelland made 18 appearances, and even managed to find the back of the net on one occasion.
The 2023-2024 season saw McClelland make the voyage north to Scotland, where he secured a spot in St Johnstone's first team, making seven appearances. However, he didn't rest on his laurels, as he also spent some time at Dundee United in the same season, making six outings for them.
At the time of writing, in the current 2024-2025 season, McClelland has made a single first team appearance for St Johnstone, no doubt with plans to bolster that statistic as the year unfolds. His commitment was rewarded during the League Cup 2024-2025, where he was handed four starts for his side, further stamping his mark as a reliable player with a future yet to unfold.
