Zak Rudden, born on 6 February 2000 (age 26), is a Scottish striker whose career has settled into the familiar graft of the domestic game. He is listed as a Dunfermline Athletic forward and wears the number nine shirt, with a current market value of around £64,000 according to Transfermarkt.
His most productive league campaign came at Queen's Park in 2024-25, when he scored nine goals in 34 appearances. That was a useful return rather than anything to get carried away about, but it showed he could carry a steady scoring load over a full season.
In 2025-26, Rudden made eight league appearances for Dunfermline Athletic, scoring two goals, before making one league appearance for Livingston. His form across the season has been solid and consistent, which is often what keeps a striker in work when the goals arrive in modest batches.
Rudden's career to this point has been that of an established Scottish professional: a centre-forward with a productive spell at Queen's Park, a current association with Dunfermline, and recent first-team involvement at Livingston.
