Graham Carey, born on 20th May 1989 in the Republic of Ireland, is a well-established forward who plays primarily as a left winger for St Johnstone. Standing at 6 foot tall (1.83m), and weighing in at 11st 9lb (74kg), he graces the pitch donning the number 11 jersey. Regarded by many as a key player, his current market value is approximately £128k, a valuation asserted by Transfermarkt. His contract with St Johnstone is nearing its end, set to expire on 31st May 2025.
Carey's football career traces back to his time with Celtic in the Scottish premiership. In February 2009, the Irish talent was loaned out to Bohemian FC in the Republic of Ireland, where he made a splendid debut, racking up 15 first team appearances and two goals in his maiden season.
He would, over the coming seasons, continue his football journey with numerous loans, visiting St Mirren twice and Huddersfield town, leading to a permanent deal struck with St Mirren in July 2011. During his tenure with St Mirren, Carey made significant contributions with consistent appearances and goals.
Moving forward, in July 2013, Carey transferred once more, this time to Ross County. Despite his transient past, Carey seemed to be finding more stability, spending two seasons with Ross County and making a notable contribution in the number of appearances and goals scored.
In 2015, Carey branched out of Scottish football, moving to England to join Plymouth Argyle in the Championship. During his four-year long stay at Plymouth, Carey arguably enjoyed the best form of his career so far, making numerous consistent performances and scoring an impressive number of goals.
Further to his adventures, Carey moved to CSKA Sofia in the Bulgarian First League in July 2019, where he spent three seasons. Although less productive in terms of goals scored, he made his presence felt with regular first team appearances.
In 2022, Carey returned to Scottish football, joining St Johnstone. His performance for the Scottish Premiership side has been consistent, frequent appearances and goal contributions. During the 2024-2025 season, he played a crucial part in St Johnstone's campaigns in both the League Cup and the Scottish Cup.
The distinguished forward, still going strong at 35, is stamping his mark on Scottish football, remaining a significant player for St Johnstone as he navigates through what can be considered the twilight years of his career.
