Kofi Balmer, born on 19 September 2000 (age 25), is a Northern Irish central defender now with Bristol Rovers. His current market value is around £170,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His early senior football included Ballymena United, but the spell that gives his career its clearest shape came at Motherwell. Across two seasons at Fir Park, Balmer made 25 league appearances without scoring. It was not a vast body of work, but it remains the period by which he is most readily placed.
He has since moved on to Bristol Rovers, where he wears squad number 17 and remains involved rather than drifting around the edges. In 2025-26 he made 22 League Two appearances, scoring twice, along with one EFL Trophy outing, giving him 23 appearances and two goals in all competitions for the club.
Balmer’s career to date is that of an established professional centre-half whose main imprint came at Motherwell, with Bristol Rovers now providing his regular football.
