Kofi Balmer, born on the 19th of September 2000 in Northern Ireland, is a fresh-faced defender who has begun to make his mark on the football field. Currently 24 years old, Balmer primarily features as a central defender for Motherwell. The lad is no shrimp either, standing proud at 6ft 2in (1.89m) and weighing a sturdy 12st 12lb (82kg). On the field, he dons the number 5 jersey.
The good folks over at Transfermarkt value our lad in green at around £150k. With his contract at Motherwell set to run for another 1 year and 9 months until it expires on the 30th of June 2026, it seems we can expect to see a bit more of Balmer in the Scottish football scene.
Compactly built and ready for action, Balmer first began to show us what he was made of in the 2016 - 2017 season at Ballymena United in Northern Ireland. In his debut season, he made one first team appearance and bagged a goal as well. The following season, under the same banner, he upped his game and made 11 first team appearances.
A few years down the line and Balmer has traded the Irish waters for Scottish greenery. In the 2024 - 2025 season, he has made three first team appearances for Motherwell. He also nabbed a chance to strut onto the field for the League Cup 2024 - 2025 for Motherwell, scoring a goal in a game where he made a start and another where he was brought on as a substitute.
