Joel Cotterill

Joel Cotterill of St Johnstone was born on 10 October 2004 (age 22).

Joel Cotterill, born 10 October 2004 (age 22), is a Welsh central midfielder at St Johnstone. His current market value is around £128,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His senior career to this point is shaped most clearly by Dundee. In 2025–26 he made 13 league appearances for the club and scored once, giving that spell more substance than the usual early-career shuffle around the edges.

Now with St Johnstone, where he wears No 30, Cotterill has made eight league appearances and scored once in 2026–27. His career remains a developing one, but Dundee is still the spell that gives it its clearest outline so far.
