Graham Carey, born on 20 May 1989 (age 37), is a Republic of Ireland winger whose career began at Celtic before settling into a long, practical route through the British game. His time at Celtic did not turn into a sustained first-team spell, though he was part of a squad that finished league runners-up, and in July 2011 he left for St Mirren.
That move gave Carey the clearer platform his career needed. He built his name away from Celtic as a left-sided player with a useful final ball and a decent scoring return, most notably at Plymouth Argyle. His best league campaign came there in 2016-17, when he scored 14 goals in 46 appearances, a strong output for a wide player rather than a passing purple patch.
Carey also picked up a League Cup winners’ medal away from Celtic, adding a tangible honour to a career spent largely outside the usual glare. In 2025-26, he made seven league appearances and scored once for Livingston, had a brief league outing with Dunfermline Athletic, then returned to Livingston and added another seven league appearances with one goal.
Now primarily a left winger for Livingston, Carey’s market value is around £43,000, according to Transfermarkt. His career has been steady rather than spectacular: a Celtic start, a proper spell of productivity at Plymouth, and a later phase built on experience and usefulness.
