Born on 6 February 2004 (age 22), Makenzie Kirk is a Northern Irish striker now with Barnsley. His senior career to this point has been shaped far more by St Johnstone than anywhere else.
At McDiarmid Park he made 37 league appearances across two seasons, scoring eight league goals. The bulk of that came in 2024-25, when he scored eight times in 35 league matches – a useful return in a side where young forwards are not usually handed much comfort.
Kirk’s current market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt. His move to Barnsley gives him a different platform, but the clearest evidence of his first-team credentials remains his spell with St Johnstone.
