Stuart Armstrong was born in Scotland on 30 March 1992, making him 33 years old. Holding the position of a central midfielder for Aberdeen, Armstrong stands at a height of 6ft (1.83 metres) and tips the scales at 11st 11lb (75 kilograms). His assigned jersey number happens to be 16. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is around £0.5m.

Armstrong started his career as a trainee with Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership in July 2010. During his time with the Tangerines, he gradually increased his impact and contribution. His initial season saw him participate in a total of 12 league matches, which increased to 23 matches and a solitary goal in the 2011 - 2012 season. His hard work paid dividends in the subsequent seasons where he made numerous appearances and improved his scoring rate, the final one of his tenure with Dundee United in the 2014 - 2015 season ending with 6 goals from 20 appearances.

In February 2015, Armstrong moved from Dundee United to join the ranks of Celtic, for a fee of £1.8m. This marked the start of an illustrious period in his career. His first season in 2014 - 2015 featured Armstrong in 15 league matches with a goal to his credit. The following seasons saw Armstrong ensconcing himself firmly in the Celt's ranks, with regular appearances and goals to boot. The high point of his stint with Celtic was the 2016 - 2017 season in which he managed to net the ball 15 times in 31 appearances. His final season with Celtic produced three goals in 27 matches before his departure in July 2018.

His next stint was with Southampton in England's Championship for an estimated fee of around £7m. His contributions in Southampton's campaign were solid, with a total of 191 appearances and 21 goals during his six seasons under their banner. During his time in England, Armstrong also had a brief spell with Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS in the USA starting from September 2024, where he played six matches and scored a goal. However, a swift transfer landed him back in England with Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship in January 2025. His stay there was short, featuring in 11 league games.

Armstrong then moved back to his Scottish roots in September 2025, transferring to Aberdeen in the Premiership. The current 2025 - 2026 season has seen Armstrong making 22 league appearances so far, with a goal to his name. He has also played in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Aberdeen with one start, the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 for Aberdeen with one start, and the Conference League 2025 - 2026 for Aberdeen with four starts and one appearance as a substitute.
