Liam Gordon

Liam Gordon of Gillingham was born in Perth, Scotland on 26 January 1996 (age 30).

Liam Gordon, born on 26 January 1996 (age 30), is a Scottish central defender now with Gillingham. His early senior football included loan spells that gave him the usual hard education away from the comfort of a parent club, but his career soon settled into a much clearer shape at St Johnstone.

Most of Gordon’s senior work was done in Perth. Across eight seasons with St Johnstone, he made 168 league appearances and scored four league goals, becoming a regular part of the side rather than a passing squad name. His most productive league campaign came in 2022–23, when he scored two goals in 32 appearances.

Gordon is listed with a current market value of around £298,000 by Transfermarkt. His career is a fairly straightforward one: developed through early loan football, established over a long spell at St Johnstone, and now continuing in England with Gillingham.
