Yan Dhanda, born on 14 December 1998 and now at 27 years of age, is a stalwart of the midfield scene in Scotland. Originally from England, Dhanda has carved out a niche primarily as a central attacking midfielder for Dundee, a claim further furnished by his number 21 jersey. Standing at a measured 5ft 8in (1.73m) tall and weighing in at 10st 3lb (65kg), he's ever agile to take on opponents head-on.
As referenced per Transfermarkt, Dhanda's market value hovers around the £429k mark, a modest sum in the grand scheme of things, yet illustrative of his worth in the competitive football scene of Scotland.
Dhanda's 2018 move from Premier League's Liverpool to Swansea City in the Championship league proved to be a defining point in his career. He established his footing, incrementing his first-team appearances from a mere five in the initial 2018-2019 season to sixteen in his second season at Swansea City. The corresponding scoring on the record also saw a rise, with three goals in contrast to a single in the previous season. His stint continued through the next two seasons, wherein he donned the stripes for a combined 29 appearances and one goal.
His career trajectory took him further north, as he joined Ross County in Scotland's Championship league in July 2022. His stint at Ross County saw an uptick in league appearances and goals. Notable seasons include the 2022-2023 tenure where he made 30 appearances and scored five goals, and the ensuing season where he furthered his record with 35 appearances and five goals.
A shift to Hearts in the Premiership followed in July 2024, which saw Dhanda feature in 25 league matches through the 2024 - 2025 season.
Subsequently, in August 2025, Dhanda made his move to Dundee in Scottish Premiership on loan from Hearts. In his ongoing tenure at Dundee for the 2025 - 2026 season, Dhanda's record registers 23 first-team appearances and two goals in league matches. Moreover, he made two starts in the prestigious Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 for Dundee carving out his spot in history.
