Liam Gordon of Motherwell was born in Perth, Scotland on 26 January 1996 (age 30).

Liam Gordon, born in Scotland on the 26th of January, 1996 (30 years old), stands out on the pitch as a central defender for Motherwell. His height usually attracting some attention, standing at 6 feet (1.83 metres) and carrying a solid frame of 13st 3lb (84 kilograms). He proudly wears number 4 on his jersey, running up and down the pitch, showing the spirit of a true defender.

According to the Transfermarkt, his current market value is hovering around the vicinity of £340k. A noteworthy figure indeed.

Mr. Gordon started his professional journey with Hearts in the Premiership in Scotland in July 2013. Following that spell, he joined Arbroath in the Scottish Championship on loan in January 2015. He managed to make ten first-team appearances in league matches during the debut season of 2014 - 2015.

The next club to secure his services was St Johnstone in July 2015, where he continued to demonstrate his development. Throughout the seasons, his presence increasingly amplified. The seasons between 2015 to 2024 saw him making valuable contributions on the pitch, frequently featuring in the first-team and even notching goals.

Gordon took a brief detour when he transferred on loan to Elgin City in July 2015, making 12 first team appearances for the League Two side in Scotland before returning to St Johnstone once his loan ran its course in January 2016. A similar pattern of loan transfer saw him represent Peterhead in the League One in Scotland from January to June 2017.

His performance with St Johnstone continued to build traction and he bagged a total of 171 first team appearances, with his final season in 2023 - 2024 marking 32 of those. Throughout the seasons, he managed to score four notable goals that enriched his profile even further.

The recent changes in his career saw him join Motherwell in the Premiership, Scotland in July 2024. He managed to make a valuable contribution in the 2024 - 2025 season making 27 first team appearances, scoring one goal. The current season of 2025 - 2026 shows him clocking another 13 first team appearances. He's also graced the field during the League Cup 2025 -2026 and the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 for Motherwell.

All in all, Liam Gordon’s career trajectory has seen a strong, steady climb. From Hearts to Motherwell, he's maintained an indisputable presence on the pitch. He's shown, time and again, why he remains a crucial part of the teams he's represented, and why Motherwell will continue to benefit from his sterling performance.
