Kieran Trippier, born on 19 September 1990 (age 35), is an English right-back with Newcastle United, where he wears the number two shirt. He is not an emerging player being talked up for what might come next; he is an experienced Premier League defender still being used regularly in 2025-26.
One of his earlier standout league campaigns came at Burnley in 2011-12, when he made 46 league appearances and scored three goals. That remains his most productive league season in front of goal, which gives a fair steer on the sort of full-back he has generally been: involved, durable, but not defined by scoring.
At Newcastle, he remains a first-team presence rather than a name kept around for decoration. In 2025-26 he has made 21 Premier League appearances, along with three in the FA Cup, four in the League Cup and nine in the Champions League, taking him to 37 appearances for the club across all competitions without a goal.
His current market value is around £3.5m, according to Transfermarkt. His career is now in its later stretch, but he remains part of Newcastle’s regular first-team picture.
