Born in Australia on 16 August 2002, Zac Sapsford is a promising forward in the world of Scottish football. At 23 years old, he plies his trade with Dundee United, where he's become a potent force in the striker's position. Standing at 1.78m (5ft 10in) and weighing in at 70kg (11st), he's a solid figure on the pitch, and notable for his sporting of the number 9 jersey.
Prior to his time in Scotland, Sapsford's career began Down Under. He transferred from Sydney FC to fellow A-League side Western Sydney Wanderers in July 2022. A young prospect at the time, he made four first team appearances in his debut season. Sapsford further pushed his claim in the 2023 - 2024 season, as he made 12 appearances and scored two goals. His breakthrough, though, truly came the following season, during which he found the back of the net on eight occasions in 25 appearances.
Breaking beyond the bounds of Australian football, Dundee United saw potential in Sapsford and signed him in July 2025, for an undisclosed fee. In his current season (2025 - 2026) with the Tangerines, Sapsford has made 18 appearances and scored five goals in league matches.
His arrival in Scotland also marked his introduction to European football. The Australian participated in the Conference League Qualifiers for the 2025 - 2026 season, where he managed to score two goals in four starts. While his time at Celtic Park never transpired, Zac Sapsford remains among the standout performers of Australian footballers that have made their mark in Scotland.
