Stephen Kingsley of Heart of Midlothian was born in Stirling, Scotland on 23 July 1994 (age 30).

Stephen Kingsley, hailing from Scotland and born on 23 July 1994, is a seasoned defender known to excel in the part of a central defender. Currently, he renders his services to Hearts. Standing 5ft 10in tall (1.78m) and weighing 12st 1lb (77kg), Kingsley dons the number 3 jersey for his club.

Kingsley’s market value, as of now, is approximately £900k as cited by Transfermarkt. His association with Hearts, as per his contract, is expected to last until 31 May 2027.

Kingsley’s football career commenced in championship sessions in Scotland with Falkirk in January 2011. His debut season (2010 - 2011) saw him making three appearances in the first team league matches. In the subsequent seasons (2011 - 2014) he germinated as a seasoned player making numerous appearances and even scoring a goal in the 2013 - 2014 season.

In July 2014, he transferred from Falkirk to Swansea City in England for a fee estimated at £350k. During his tenure with Swansea City (2014-2017), Kingsley had his fair share of first team league appearances, highlighting his consistent performance.

The year 2015 witnessed Kingsley being loaned out twice. First, in February, he moved to Yeovil Town where he made 12 appearances in league matches. Similarly, in August, he was loaned to Crewe Alexandra's and managed the same number of appearances for them.

After the completion of his loan, Kingsley returned to Swansea City, where he resumed his consistent performances during the league seasons of 2015 - 2017.

In August 2017, Kingsley moved to Hull City on an undisclosed fee. His association with Hull City from 2017 - 2020 had him making a significant number of appearances despite his final season being marked by lesser appearances.

Moving on to October 2020, Kingsley transferred from Hull City to Hearts in Scotland. His performance here has been quite commendable, representing Hearts in a significant number of league matches in each season and even registering goals to his name.
