Liam Gordon, born on 26 January 1996 (age 30), is a Scottish central defender now with Motherwell, wearing squad number 4. His current market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Gordon’s career is still shaped mainly by St Johnstone. Before he became a regular there, loan football gave him the sort of senior minutes young defenders tend to need – useful, unglamorous work, and probably more instructive than sitting politely on a bench.
Over eight seasons at St Johnstone he made 168 league appearances and scored four league goals. His busiest attacking return came in 2022–23, when he scored twice in 32 league matches, though his value there was never really about goals. He became a familiar, dependable presence in a side where defenders are rarely allowed a quiet afternoon.
At Motherwell, Gordon remains involved rather than drifting into the background. In 2025–26 he has made 16 league appearances and scored once, adding five League Cup appearances and two in the Scottish Cup. Across all competitions for Motherwell, that stands at 23 appearances and one goal.
His career has been built around long service at St Johnstone, followed by continued first-team relevance at Motherwell. It is a solid Scottish top-flight path, short on fuss and not short on minutes.
