Yan Dhanda, born 14 December 1998 and hailing from England, currently runs the midfield for Dundee, a team demonstrating its prowess in the sometimes-unpredictable world of Scottish football. Primarily operating as a central attacking midfielder, Dhanda unknots defences with his sleek play. His physical stature, being 5ft 8in (1.73m) tall and weighing in at 10st 3lb (65kg), paralleled with his agility, makes him an intimidating opponent. On the pitch, you'll find Dhanda dutifully donning the number 21 jersey.
At present, his market value grazes the £500,000 mark as noted by the respected football database, Transfermarkt.
Tracing his career back to 2018, he bid his adieu to Liverpool in the revered Premier League, crossing borders and leagues alike to join the rally at Swansea City, a vibrant team in England's Championship. Sexting a commendable debut season, Dhanda racked up five first-team appearances whilst also notching up a goal. As the seasons rolled on, his performance surged, recording 16 appearances with three goals in the following season, and 26 appearances the season after, punctuating it with a stellar goal. Although opportunities seemed to dwindle in the 2021-2022 season with a mere three appearances to his name, it didn't dampen his spirit.
In July 2022, Dhanda made another decisive career move, leaving Swansea City to join Ross County in Scotland's Championship. His initial season, 2022-2023, witnessed him make 30 first-team appearances, with five goals to boot, and the following season echoed a similar narrative with 35 appearances and another handful of goals.
Come July 2024, Dhanda transferred from Ross County to Hearts, one of the stalwarts in Scotland's Premiership, where he claimed 25 first team appearances in the 2024-2025 season. Within a year, August 2025, Hearts decided to loan Dhanda to Dundee, another team strutting their stuff in the Premiership. Already in the present 2025-2026 season, Dhanda boasts ten first-team appearances for Dundee.
