Let's have a natter about the footballing journey of Charlie Telfer, shall we? Born 4th July 1995, this Scottish lad has been kicking a ball around as a midfielder, centrally for preference, for the chaps at Ross County. Telfer, a chap of average build at 5ft 8in (1.75m), tips the scales at 11st 9lb (74kg). Number 21 is his jersey of choice and he must have showered in it by now.
Telfer's current market value is in the hilarious realm of approximate £127k according to the stat-obsessed folks over at Transfermarkt. Seems his contract with Ross County is good until the toss of a coin at Hogmanay this year, set to expire on 31st May 2025.
The lad had his stint with Rangers, bless him, back in July 2012 in the Scottish Premiership. Perhaps not the rocket start to his career he hoped for, making only one team appearance in the 2013 -2014 season.
Then came 2014, the year he seemed to find favour with the bean counters, making a £200k transfer from Rangers to Dundee United. Seasons came and went, and by the close of the 2016-2017 season he'd clocked up 53 appearances and four goals. Not exactly a rip-roaring success, but it kept the grass stains coming in.
In 2016, Dundee appears to tire of him, and shipped him out on loan to Livingston. Back he came to Dundee after making 13 appearances and presumably giving their washing machine a rest.
Fast forward to 2017 and Telfer found himself in Almere City, playing the Dutch Eredivisie and making a grand total of eight appearances. I'd wager he sampled a decent amount of the local herring.
Come July 2018, it is Greenock Morton who took him under their wing in the Scottish Championship, closely followed by a stint at Falkirk in July 2019.
Did he have a Sat Nav? Because in September 2022 he ended up at Airdrieonians, still in the Championship. Over two seasons he made 52 appearances, managing to notch up five goals. Good lad.
Now, in 2024, he finds himself at Ross County, back in the premiership. He's got seven appearances under the belt in the current season. Also, he's managed a run out in the League Cup with two starts and two substitute appearances. Everyone needs to have dreams.
