Daniel Finlayson, born on 19 January 2001 (age 25), is a Northern Irish right-back with St Johnstone. At 6ft 3in (1.91m), he is a rangy presence for a position more often associated with smaller, sharper types.
His league career had its most productive spell at Linfield in 2023–24, when he scored three goals in 33 appearances. That was a solid return from full-back and helped mark him out as more than a tidy squad option.
At St Johnstone, where he wears squad number 19, Finlayson has remained firmly involved. In 2025–26, he has made 35 league appearances, which says enough about his place in the side without needing to dress it up.
His career is still taking shape: Linfield gave him a platform, St Johnstone have given him regular Scottish league football, and he remains a first-team presence rather than a peripheral name.
