George Stanger, born on 15 August 2000 (age 25), is a New Zealand central defender with Kilmarnock. An imposing 6ft 3in (1.91m), he wears squad number 14 and has become a regular first-team presence in the 2025–2026 season.
His clearest early senior progress came at Alloa Athletic, where the 2022–2023 league campaign gave him steady football and a useful return from defence: three goals in 25 appearances. That season remains his most productive in front of goal.
At Kilmarnock, Stanger has continued to be involved rather than merely attached to the squad. In 2025–2026, he has made 20 league appearances and scored two league goals, along with one League Cup appearance. Across all competitions for the club that season, he has 21 appearances and two goals.
His current market value is around £170,000, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, Stanger’s career is that of a developing but established professional: a tall centre-half who has earned regular senior football and remains part of Kilmarnock’s first-team picture.
