Dylan Lobban

Dylan Lobban (born 26 August 2005, age 21) is a Scottish central attacking midfielder with Dunfermline Athletic, where he wears the number 24 shirt.

His senior career has been shaped most clearly by Aberdeen. Lobban made 14 league appearances there across one season, enough to make that spell the main reference point in a career still at an early stage.

He moved on to Dunfermline, where the 2026-27 season has brought his most productive league return so far: one goal in 11 Championship appearances. He has also played three times in the League Cup and once in the Scottish Cup, giving him 15 appearances and one goal for the club across all competitions.

Lobban’s career to date is a straightforward Scottish pathway: Aberdeen as the main early marker, Dunfermline as the current platform, and steady senior minutes in the Championship.

Aberdeen arranged multiple short-term moves for Lobban: he was loaned to Forfar Athletic in January 2024 and returned to Aberdeen in June 2024, loaned to Cove Rangers in September 2024 and returned in June 2025, and then moved on loan to Dunfermline Athletic in August 2026 – the transfer record is therefore dominated by loans rather than permanent moves.
