Malachi Fagan-Walcott

Malachi Fagan-Walcott of Heart of Midlothian was born in Edmonton, England on 11 March 2002 (age 24).

Malachi Fagan-Walcott is an English central defender, born on 11 March 2002 (age 24), now with Hearts, where he wears squad number 64.

His senior career is shaped most clearly by his spell at Dunfermline Athletic. In the 2023-24 league season he made 15 appearances and scored three goals, a useful return for a centre-half and the most substantial first-team run on his record.
