Graham Carey

Graham Carey of St Johnstone was born in Blanchardstown, Rep. Ireland on 20 May 1989 (age 35).

Graham Carey, born on 20 May 1989 in the Republic of Ireland, is a 35-year-old footballer who currently burdens the forward line at St Johnstone, primarily occupying the role of a left winger. He measures in at a sturdy 6ft (1.83m) and tips the scale at 11st 9lb (74kg), donning the number 11 jersey for his side.

As per information on Transfermarkt, his current market value stands around a modest £127k. It should be noted that his ongoing contract with St Johnstone is on the verge of conclusion, with a mere 5 months remaining, set to expire on 31 May 2025.

Having a careful look at Carey's career, we see that he wore the Celtic shirt in the Scottish Premiership before honing his craft on loan at Bohemian FC in the Irish Premier Division in February 2009. In his debut season at Bohemian FC, Carey made 15 first team appearances and found the back of the net twice in league affairs.

As seasons rolled on, Carey found himself transferred from Celtic to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership on loan in February 2010. During the course of three different seasons - 2009-2010, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 - at St Mirren, Carey pulled on the jersey 70 times, and managed to put away 6 league goals in total.

July 2010 saw him dispatched on loan from Celtic again, this time to Huddersfield Town in England's League One. His one season stint at Huddersfield Town resulted in him making 19 appearances and scoring two league goals.

In a progressive shift in 2011, Carey ceaselessly transferred from Celtic to St Mirren for an undisclosed fee. During the seasons of 2009-2010, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 at St Mirren, Carey was able to replicate his previous form, making 70 first team appearances and netting 6 league goals for the side.

July 2013 marked the departure of Carey from St Mirren, when he found a new home at Ross County in the Scottish Premiership. Over two seasons with Ross County, he made 58 first team appearances and scored five league goals.

Carey then embarked upon a new journey, transferring from Ross County to Plymouth Argyle in England's Championship in July 2015. Here, he saw a visible improvement in form, with 110 first team appearances over three seasons and a commendable tally of 32 league goals.

In a surprising move in July 2019, Carey switched from Plymouth Argyle to CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria's First League. Over three seasons, Carey took on the challenge head-on, making 68 first team appearances and scoring five league goals.

A return to Scottish shores was in the offing in July 2022, when Carey transferred from CSKA Sofia to St Johnstone in the Premiership. So far, over the two and a half seasons with St Johnstone, he has made 84 first team appearances and scored seven league goals, showing no signs of slowing down.
