Ali Coote, born on 11 June 1998 (age 28), is a Scottish attacking midfielder with Shelbourne. His career has been built in the League of Ireland rather than in the glare of the Scottish game, with enough end product to keep him relevant at senior level.
His most productive league season came with Bohemian FC in 2023, when he scored six goals in 30 appearances. That was a useful return from central attacking midfield, and it helped establish him as more than just a tidy player between the lines.
At Shelbourne in 2026, Coote remains a regular first-team presence. He has made 21 Premier Division appearances, scoring two goals, and 25 appearances in all competitions, with three goals. His European involvement has included a Conference League qualifying appearance in which he scored, along with three Conference League appearances.
His current market value is around £149,000, according to Transfermarkt. Coote’s career to this point is that of an established professional in Irish football, with Bohemian FC providing his strongest scoring season and Shelbourne now giving him regular football.
