Makenzie Kirk, born on 6 February 2004 (age 22), is a Northern Irish striker currently with Barnsley, where he wears the number 9 shirt. His market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His senior career is still shaped mainly by St Johnstone. Across two league seasons there, Kirk made 37 appearances and scored eight goals, with the 2024-25 campaign providing the bulk of that return: eight goals in 35 league games. For a young forward, that was a useful spell of regular football rather than a token run of minutes.
He has since moved on to Barnsley. In 2026-27, he has made two League One appearances and two League Cup appearances, giving him four games across all competitions for the club so far.
Kirk’s career to this point is straightforward: a young Northern Irish striker whose main senior body of work came at St Johnstone, now trying to build the next stage of it at Barnsley.
