Stirton’s transfer pattern is entirely loan-based: he moved from Dundee United to Airdrieonians in January 2026, returned later that month, went back to Airdrieonians in February, returned to Dundee United in April, then joined Ayr United on loan in July 2026. It reads as controlled development within the Scottish league structure rather than a permanent break from Dundee United.
