Our subject today is Graham Carey, a forward primarily serving as a left winger for Livingston. Born on 20 May 1989 in the Republic of Ireland, the gentleman thus approaches thirty-seven years of age. Standing 6 feet (1.83m) tall and weighing in at a sturdy 11 stone 9 pounds or in more global utensils, 74 kilograms. In his footballing attire, you'll see him garbed in the number 10 jersey.
Putting a price on a chap's head can be rather contentious, but for those curious about such things, Carey's current market value hovers around the £63k mark, according to Transfermarkt.
Our tale of transfers begins in February 2009, when Carey took temporary leave from Celtic in the Scottish Premiership to shoot over on loan to Bohemian FC in the Premier Division of his home country, where he made 15 first team appearances in his debut season and netted two lovely goals.
In 2010, Carey was again ensnared by the loan system, this time landing at St Mirren back home in Scotland. And it is here our tale dwells on Celtic, his former abode of two or more seasons. Over these years, Carey experienced a significant period of growth and development, marked by a series of performances that added to an impressive tally of first team appearances and goals.
Having draped himself in Celtic's colours for an remarkable period, his eventual parting in 2011 to link-up full-time with St Mirren was met with a touch of melancholy. His following seasons at St Mirren continued to provide consistent first-team performances and a respectable goal scoring track record.
In July 2013, Carey switched from St Mirren to Ross County within Scotland's footballing realms, where his consistent performance persisted on for two seasons. Subsequent years took him southbound to Huddersfield Town in England's League One, also on a loan expedition, where he notched up another 19 first team appearances and two goals before transferring back to St Mirren later that year.
His second tenure at St Mirren came to a close in 2013 when he undertook a new challenge at Ross County, another of Scotland’s footballing establishments. Here, over two seasons, he continued to make a sizeable number of first team appearances, unfailingly finding the back of the net, albeit sparingly.
July 2015 signalled an interesting turn of events, with Carey’s departure from Ross County to Plymouth Argyle in England's League One, experiencing his most fruitful goal scoring spell during his three-season tenure. Following his stint at Plymouth, Carey ventured out of United Kingdom, joining CSKA Sofia in the First League in Bulgaria in 2019, adding to his impressive tally of first team appearances and consistent goal rates.
Circling back to Scotland, Carey joined St Johnstone in 2022. This three-season spell remained attached to his consistent performance trend clearly noted across his years in football. Presently, he finds home with Livingston in the Premiership, showcasing a competitive start for his current season with seven first team appearances and a goal to his name.
Do note his significant contribution in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 season for Livingston, with two starts and two substitute appearances. One must truly appreciate the dedication and consistent performances this Irish gentleman has put in throughout his career, always periodical in finding himself in the heart of the action.
