Ross Laidlaw

Ross Laidlaw

Ross Laidlaw was born on 12 July 1992 (age 34).

Ross Laidlaw, born on 12 July 1992 (age 33), is a Scottish goalkeeper whose senior career has been shaped far more by steady service than noise. An imposing 6ft 4in (1.94m) presence, he had early senior exposure at Raith Rovers, making two league appearances in the 2011-12 season during a developmental spell that gave him a first taste of regular football’s sharper edges.

Ross County is where his career properly settled. Across seven seasons, Laidlaw made 155 league appearances for the Dingwall club, a substantial body of work for a goalkeeper at a side often living with narrow margins. That sort of longevity is not glamorous, but it usually tells its own story: managers kept picking him, and County kept relying on him.

His market value is around £255,000, according to Transfermarkt. Laidlaw’s career is, in plain terms, that of a Scottish goalkeeper who found his level, stayed in the team, and built his name through a long spell at Ross County.

Laidlaw's transfer history was low-cost: Raith Rovers to Hibernian was a free transfer in 2016, Hibernian to Ross County was another free transfer in 2019, and Dundee United came as a loan stop earlier that year. The final move was a Ross County release on 30 June 2026, pointing to a career managed largely through availability rather than fees.
