Born in the brisk chill of a Scottish January, specifically on the 30th in 2007, Owen Stirton has dedicated his 18 years to the disciplined pursuit of footballing prowess. The local lad, hailing from the broad bonnie landscapes of Scotland, has established a reputable presence as a forward, lending his talents primarily to the role of the striker. He's presently proving his brilliance on the grounds of Dundee United whilst confidently donning the number 34 jersey.
Stirton's formidable structure is an undeniable asset on the football pitch. Standing at 6 feet 3 inches (1.91m) and tipping the scales at 12 stones 12 pounds (82kg), he can confidently command his presence on the field. He stands tall, a testament to his Scottish roots, and his athletic build is testimony to his sporting commitment.
As suggested by figures freely available on the Transfermarkt, Stirton's current market value hovers around the £128k mark. Certainly no small change for the young Scot. It's a number that promises to grow as he continues to strengthen his position on the field.
July 2022 was a landmark month in Stirton's professional journey as he joined Dundee United, competitors in the Scottish Premiership. Since then, he's been gradually marking his presence. In his debut season 2023-24, he made a lone first team appearance in league matches, a number that was replicated during the subsequent 2024-25 season although, in this case, his efforts were punctuated with a brilliant goal. The current season of 2025-26 has seen him make three such appearances, suggesting a positive trend of increasing participation on the pitch.
In a tactical move, January 2025 saw Stirton transferring from Dundee United to Montrose, a team competing in Scotland's League One. His spell there was short-lived, however, as he returned to Dundee United in June the same year, upon the completion of his loan. The same rigours of seasonal participation followed after Stirton's return.
In addition to his league appearances, young Stirton made a mark in the League Cup 2025-26 for Dundee United, scoring a goal as a substitute in his sole appearance. Similarly, in the Conference League Qualifiers 2025-26, he faithfully emerged from the bench, making four appearances as a substitute for Dundee United.
