English-born netminder Zach Hemming, born on the seventh day of March, 2000, currently offers his goalkeeping capabilities to St Mirren. The 24-year-old dons the number 1 jersey for the club. Standing at a prominent 6ft 2in (1.88m) and weighing in at 12st 8lb (80kg), Hemming's presence between the sticks is a daunting one.
According to Transfermarkt, Hemming's footballing prowess is perceived to be worth around £342K. His commitment to the Saints, as noted by his contractual obligations, is expected to reach its denouement on 31st May 2025, marking a significant three months that lie ahead.
In the realm of football, careers can be peripatetic. Such is the case for Hemming. His journey started in July 2013 when he joined Middlesbrough as a trainee. After several seasons at the Riverside Stadium, Hemming felt the urge for a taste of football in North of the border, transferring to Kilmarnock on loan for the 2021 season.
His debut season in the Scottish Premiership saw him make a respectable 10 first-team league appearances for the 'Killie'. Nevertheless, it was during Hemming’s consequent loan move to St Mirren, which transpired in July 2023, that he truly found his footing. The netminder made 38 first-team appearances in league games for the Saints during the 2023 - 2024 season.
While the unfolding 2024 - 2025 season has seen him add another eight first-team appearances to his record, his journey took him on a brief sojourn back to England in July 2024 with Leyton Orient in the League One. However, the enticement of Scottish football proved irresistible as he returned to St Mirren in January 2025.
Moreover, Hemming's efforts on the pitch contributed to St Mirren's stint in the Scottish Cup for the 2024 - 2025 season, where he started in two matches. His journey in Scottish football continues to unfold as he marshals the Saints' defence from the goalmouth.
