Kai Fotheringham

Kai Fotheringham of St Johnstone was born on 18 April 2003 (age 23).

Kai Fotheringham, born on 18 April 2003 (age 23), is a compact Scottish right winger with St Johnstone, where he wears number 18. His current market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His senior career has been shaped chiefly at Dundee United. Early loan football helped move him from prospect to first-team player, but the real body of work came back at Tannadice, where he made 65 league appearances across five seasons and scored 12 league goals.

The 2023-24 season was the clear step forward. Fotheringham scored 12 league goals in 35 appearances for Dundee United, turning promise into production and giving his time there a firmer shape than the usual stop-start development path.

Now at St Johnstone, he has made nine league appearances and scored two league goals in 2026-27. It is still a developing career, but one already anchored by a substantial Dundee United spell rather than a collection of passing stops.
