Ricki Lamie, a stalwart Scottish defender, born on the 26th June 1993, is a well-respected player in Scottish football. Currently turning out for Ross County in the Scottish Premiership, Lamie is recognised for his central defensive talents. At 1.85m (6ft) in height and a hefty 90kg (14st 2lb), he provides a stalwart presence at the back. As a token of his importance within the team, Lamie dons the number 5 jersey.
As a testament to his steady position within the sport, his current market value is in the region of £270k according to Transfermarkt. His network within Ross County is set to extend until the end of May 2026, showcasing the faith the club has in him.
Embarking on his professional journey in July 2011, Lamie joined Airdrieonians in Scotland’s Championship division. During his debut season, he made ten appearances, and enhanced his reputation in the next season with seventeen further displays. An opportunity to experience a different environment saw Lamie head to Clyde, in League Two, on loan in November 2012, where he featured in four matches.
Returning subsequently to Airdrieonians, Lamie continued his player development with an admirable number of appearances. Further loan spells to Queen's Park and East Stirlingshire followed, offering him a multitude of diverse experiences.
His performances didn't go unnoticed, and in July 2014, Lamie transferred from Airdrieonians to Greenock Morton in the Championship. It was here that Lamie truly found his stride, with several seasons of regular first-team football under his belt, including notable episodes as goal-scorer.
More successful seasons continued when in July 2018, he moved to Livingston. Again demonstrating his reliability with regular appearances, he continued to build his reputation. Perhaps the most crucial move came in July 2020 when Lamie signed for Motherwell in Scotland's top tier, gaining Premiership experience while maintaining his impressive rate of appearances.
Adding another string to his bow, in August 2023, Lamie transferred on loan to Dundee. Despite being a loanee, he made a substantial number of performances, scoring crucial goals as well. Subsequently, in July 2024, Lamie transferred to his current home, Ross County. While he is yet to make a first-team appearance in the 2024/2025 season, his wealth of experience and commitment to his career suggest he will continue to make an impact in the Scottish game.
