Billy Koumetio, a French-born footballer born on 14th November 2002, currently dons the number 5 jersey as a central defender for Dundee. Standing at a formidable 6ft 4in (1.95m) and weighing in at 12st 10lb (81kg), Koumetio has established a durable presence on the pitch.
At a young age, the defender's market value is touted at roughly £400k, as gauged by Transfermarkt.
New experiences and challenges became inherent in Koumetio's footballing journey when he took up training in July 2018 with Liverpool, a famed English Premier League team. Such a move unmistakably connoting ambition.
In July 2022, Koumetio was dispatched to Bundesliga's Austria Vienna on a loan spell. Even though his fledgeling appearance record only ticked to five first team outings during the 2022 - 2023 season, the loan spell provided invaluable experience.
After concluding his servitude in Austria, Koumetio paddled back to the English shores in January 2023, once again adorning Liverpool's crest. His subsequent loan spell saw him assimilated into the ranks of Dunkerque, a French Ligue 2 side, in August 2023. The young defender carved eight first team imprints on the Ligue 2 pitch during the 2023 - 2024 season.
Koumetio's enriching journey subsequently took him to Blackburn Rovers, a Championship club in England, in February 2024 – another loan move, another horizon in sight.
While on his footballing sojourn, an opportunity to make a permanent move materialised in August 2024, propelling Koumetio from Liverpool into Dundee in the Scottish Premiership. A shadow of ambiguity blanketed the transfer fee involved.
Heralding his permanent residency at Dundee, Koumetio took the field 19 times during the 2024 - 2025 season. Currently, he has six first team appearances during the 2025 - 2026 season. Adding to his contributions, the defender has registered a goal on his tally during his participation in the League Cup 2025 - 2026, from a sum of two starts.
