George Stanger, a sturdy Scotsman, born on the 15th of August 2000 is now 25 years old. He is a defender, primarily operating the central defender position for Kilmarnock. Stanger is a towering figure on the pitch, standing at 6ft 3in (1.91m) and weighing in at 12st 8lb (80kg). He is easily spotted in his number 14 jersey.
According to Transfermarkt, Stanger's market value hovers somewhere around £108k. Both reliable and hardworking, he is a notable figure within the realm of Scottish football.
The early days of his career saw him switch from the Hamilton Accies to other Scottish clubs predominantly in League One and Two. His first move, in January 2018, was to Stirling Albion on a loan deal. Though only there a short while, he managed two first-team appearances during the 2017-2018 season.
Returning to Hamilton after his loan spell, he managed a total of six first-team stints across the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons. Other loan deals followed, including spells at East Kilbride and Forfar Athletic, before making a more permanent move to the University of Stirling in the East of Scotland League in October 2021.
More transfer action ensued in the months followed. A brief loan to Dumbarton and a return to League One with Alloa Athletic eventually led him to the Scottish Championship with Ayr United in July 2023. Here, Stanger steadily gained momentum, making 62 first-team appearances and netting four times across two seasons.
As a testament to his growing abilities, he transferred from Ayr United to Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership in July 2025. Thus far in the 2025-2026 season, he has made seven first-team appearances, finding the back of net twice. His performances have seen him regularly chosen to start in the League Cup, underlining his contribution to his club's success.
