Kieran Tierney, born in Scotland on 5th June 1997, is a solid defender primarily playing in the left back position for English Premier League side, Arsenal. Tierney stands at 5ft 10in (1.78m) and tips the scales at 11st 13lb (76kg). He is easily recognised on the pitch, wearing the number 3 jersey.

Tierney's journey to prominence began in July 2014 when he signed for Celtic, playing in Scotland's Premiership. In his debut season (2014-2015), Tierney made only two appearances for the first team in league matches. However, he quickly cemented his place in the Celtic starting eleven over the next few seasons. In the 2015-2016 season, he made 23 first team appearances and found the net once. Scores for the next season (2016-2017) mirrored the previous one, with Tierney making 24 first team appearances and scoring one goal. In the 2017-2018 season, he ramped up his contributions with 32 appearances and three goals. His performance slightly tapered off in the 2018-2019 season, making 21 first team appearances, but without registering any goal.

In August 2019, Tierney made a notable switch from Celtic to Premier League club Arsenal, with the deal reportedly around £25m. His first season (2019-2020) at Arsenal saw him participate in 15 first team league matches, contributing one goal. With consistent performances, Tierney's playing time increased for Arsenal. In the 2020-2021 season, he made 27 appearances and scored once, a feat he repeated in the following season (2021-2022) where he again made 27 appearances and contributed a goal. In the 2022-2023 season, despite making 27 first team appearances, Tierney was unable to score. As at the ongoing 2024-2025 season, he is yet to make a first team appearance.

Tierney briefly switched clubs yet again in August 2023, moving on loan from Arsenal to Real Sociedad in the La Liga, Spain. During the 2023-2024 season at Real Sociedad, Tierney played in 20 league matches. The loan tenure was short lived and in June 2024, Tierney returned to Arsenal.
