Liam Gordon, born on the 26th of January 1996, is a Scottish professional footballer. His position is typically a sturdy central defender, notably for Motherwell. Standing at a solid 6ft (1.83m) tall and weighing in at 13st 3lb (84kg), he dons the number 4 jersey. The Scottish native's current market value is based around a sensible £425k (€500k), according to Transfermarkt.
In midsummer 2013, young Gordon found himself moving to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership. A year and a half later, in January 2015, he was transferred on loan to Arbroath, a League One club in Scotland. Here he tested his prowess in ten league matches during his debut season of 2014 - 2015.
Come July 2015, with a brief but valuable experience at League One level tucked under his belt, Gordon transferred to St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership. His time there was somewhat sparse at first, with minimal appearances in league matches during his early seasons - one in 2015-16, seven in 2017-18 and thirteen in 2018-19. However, his role gradually grew to be rather substantial, making 16 appearances in 2019-20, 36 appearances in 2020-21 and 2021-22, respectively, and 32 appearances in 2022-23 and 2023-24, respectively. Importantly, he also managed to find the back of the net during the last three seasons, scoring four goals in total.
During his tenure at St Johnstone, Gordon was transferred on loan to two different clubs. In July 2015, he enjoyed a tenure at Elgin City, in Scotland's League Two, appearing 12 times in league matches. He was then loaned out again in January 2017, this time to Peterhead, another League Two side in Scotland, where he made seven league appearances.
Having returned to St Johnstone in June 2017 after his loans, he continued to contribute to their defensive core in the ensuing years, resulting in the aforementioned appearances and goals.
The next chapter in Gordon's footballing journey began in July 2024 when he transferred to Motherwell, another strong side in Scottish Premiership. So far in the ongoing 2024-25 season, he's appeared 11 times in league matches, continuing to prove his reliability. He's also notably featured in six starts for Motherwell in the League Cup 2024 - 2025.
Throughout his career, Liam Gordon has proven to be a capable fixture in the Scottish Premiership, demonstrating commitment and an increasing level of confidence and skill. His journey continues to unfold, and at age 28, he clearly has more to offer to Scottish football.
