Joe Hugill

Joe Hugill of Kilmarnock was born in Durham, England on 19 October 2003 (age 23).

Joe Hugill is an English striker, born on 19 October 2003 (age 23), whose senior career is now shaped mainly by his spell at Kilmarnock. He wears the No 9 shirt and is valued at around £340,000 by Transfermarkt.

Kilmarnock is where his career has gained proper substance. Across two league seasons he has made 27 appearances and scored 10 goals, with the 2025–26 campaign his most productive so far: eight goals in 15 league games.

In 2026–27, Hugill has added 12 league appearances and two goals, along with six League Cup appearances and two more goals. That gives him 18 appearances and four goals for the season across those competitions, a decent enough return for a centre-forward still building his senior record.

For now, Hugill’s profile is straightforward: an English striker making his name at Kilmarnock, with goals in the Scottish top flight giving his career a clear direction.

In Premiership 2026 - 2027 Hugill has made 12 appearances, all starts, scoring 2 goals and receiving 2 yellow cards; he has also scored 2 goals in six League Cup appearances. The split between a steady starting role in the league and a clearer goals return in cup matches suggests he is an important selection option whose scoring output in the Premiership is modest relative to a primary striker.

Hugill is 23 and English. He was on Manchester United's books before a sequence of senior loans at Burton Albion, Wigan Athletic, Carlisle United and Barnet, and then completed a permanent move to Kilmarnock in January 2026. The trajectory charts a progression from a top‑club squad role into regular senior football via successive loans and a settled first‑team position in the Scottish Premiership.
