Dante Polvara, born on 21 June 2000 (age 25), is an American central midfielder now with St. Louis City. At an imposing 6ft 4in (1.93m), he brings obvious size to the role, though his career has been shaped more by gradual development than any sudden breakthrough.
Aberdeen is the club that has done most of that shaping. Across five seasons there, Polvara made 65 league appearances and scored three league goals. His early loan spell helped give him senior football before he became more involved at Pittodrie, with his most productive league campaign coming in 2023-24, when he scored twice in 28 appearances.
He is now with St. Louis City, where he wears squad number 21 and has made 14 MLS appearances without scoring. His current market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Polvara’s career remains a developing one, but its main body so far is clear enough: a long Aberdeen spell, a useful period of growth around it, and a move back into American football with St. Louis City.
