Ryan Astley, born on the 4th of October, 2001 that makes him 24 years of age, is a Welsh-born footballer who chiefly occupies the role of a central defender for Dundee. Towering at a height of 6ft (1.84m) and tipping the scales at 12st 3lb (78kg), he's a commanding presence in the heart of defence. His player number for the side is 4.
The Transfermarkt has placed his present market valuation at somewhere in the vicinity of £510k.
Astley's journey in professional football began in July 2017 when he was recruited by English Premier League side, Everton, as a trainee. After a stint there, the next chapter of his career moved him to Accrington Stanley, a League Two side in England. This was facilitated by a loan transfer in July 2022.
During his debut season with Accrington Stanley, spanning from 2022 to 2023, Astley had a fair run, making 23 first team appearances and even netting a goal in league matches.
Once his loan concluded in June 2023, Astley returned to Everton. This, however, was a short-lived turn, as in January 2024, he made another transfer. This time his destination was north of the border, to Dundee, in the Scottish Premiership. The transfer fee remains undisclosed.
In his inaugural 2023 - 2024 season with Dundee, Astley didn't see much pitch time, with just three first team inclusions in league matches to his name. The following 2024 - 2025 season, showed marked improvement, as he made 26 first team appearances in league matches. Progress continues in the current 2025 - 2026 season, with nine first team appearances already under his belt, along with a goal to his name.
Besides league performances, Astley has also had a taste of cup competition. He took part in the 2025 - 2026 League Cup for Dundee, managing to net a goal in his two starts and a substitute appearance. Similarly, in the 2024 - 2025 Scottish Cup, he made two start appearances for Dundee.
