Daniel Finlayson, born on 19 January 2001 (age 25), is a Northern Irish right-back with St Johnstone. At 6ft 3in (1.91m), he is an imposing full-back, though his career has been built more on regular involvement than attacking numbers.
His most productive league season came at Linfield in 2023–24, when he scored three goals in 33 appearances. That gave him a useful run of senior football and a clearer place as a first-team player rather than a fringe name being shuffled around the margins.
By 2025–26 he remained a regular presence, making 35 league appearances for St Johnstone without scoring. Finlayson is still in the stage of his career where consistency matters more than reputation, and his recent record points to a player trusted often enough to stay relevant in the side.
