Neil Farrugia

Neil Farrugia of Dundee United was born in Paris, France on 19 May 1999 (age 27).

Neil Farrugia, born on 19 May 1999 (age 27), is a Republic of Ireland left-back now with Dundee United, where he wears squad number 20. His market value is around £106,000, according to Transfermarkt.

The substantial stretch of his career came at Shamrock Rovers. Across six seasons he made 100 league appearances and scored 10 league goals, giving him a proper body of work rather than a passing association. His most productive league campaign came in 2023, when he scored four times in 27 appearances.

Farrugia has since moved into Scottish football with Dundee United. In 2026–27 he has made 10 league appearances and scored once, with another appearance in the Scottish Cup, taking him to 11 games and one goal in all competitions for the club.

His career to this point is straightforward enough: a long, productive Shamrock Rovers spell, followed by a Dundee United chapter still taking shape.
