Stuart Armstrong, born on 30 March 1992 and currently residing at the ripe age of 33, hails from Scotland and operates predominantly as a central midfielder. Currently, he graces the field for Aberdeen, sporting the number 16 jersey. Armstrong stands a notable 6 feet tall (1.83m) and maintains a weight of roughly 11 stone and 11 lbs (75kg).

According to Transfermarkt, Armstrong's estimable playing abilities have boosted his market value to a comfortable £509k. The midfielder initially began his career at Dundee United's Premiership division in Scotland as a trainee in July 2010.

During his time at Dundee United, Armstrong made notable contributions. In his introductory 2010 - 2011 season, he made 12 appearances, with this number escalating to 23 in the following 2011 - 2012 term, when he also netted his first goal. Progressing into the 2012 - 2013 run, he made a hefty total of 36 appearances with 3 goals scores. His final two seasons of 2013 - 2014 and 2014 - 2015 found Armstrong at the heart of the team, playing 36 and 20 matches respectively, alongside scoring a commendable number of 8 and 6 goals.

In February 2015, Armstrong moved to Glasgow's own, Celtic, committing to a £1.8 million contract, much to the delight of the Celtic faithful. Armstrong's time at Celtic was a transformative period, where he rose from a promising prospect to an esteemed player. His initial 2014 - 2015 season saw him making 15 appearances and a single goal. The next season, he had worn the Celtic jersey 25 times and scored 4 goals. His most productive season in terms of numbers came in the 2016 - 2017 season, where Armstrong made 31 appearances and incredibly scored 15 goals. In his last season at Celtic, 2017 - 2018, he made 27 appearances and netted 3 goals.

After such an impressionable tenure at Celtic, Armstrong transferred to Southampton in the English Championship for an impressive fee of around £7 million. Over six seasons starting from 2018, Armstrong maintained a consistent presence in the squad, clocking up appearances in the thirties and contributing with an array of goals each season. In September 2024, he made a surprising switch to the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS where he made six appearances and scored one goal.

This brief stint was succeeded by a move to Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship in England in January 2025 where he made 11 appearances. September of the same year, Armstrong found himself back in Scottish Premiership, but this time with Aberdeen. In the current season, Armstrong has made 13 appearances and scored one goal.

His contributions also extend to the League Cup 2025 - 2026 where he started once for Aberdeen and Conference League 2025 - 2026 with four starts and one appearance as a substitute.

Stuart Armstrong, with his prolific career and relentless dedication, has cemented himself as a seasoned veteran in the world of football.
