Oliver Bainbridge

Oliver Bainbridge of Sunderland was born on 13 June 2005 (age 20).

Oliver Bainbridge (born 13 June 2005, age 20) is an English left-back on Sunderland’s books. At 6ft 3in (1.90m), he is unusually tall for the role, giving him a more imposing profile than the standard touchline full-back.

His senior career has so far been shaped most clearly by Kilmarnock. In the 2024-25 season, he made six league appearances for the Ayrshire club and did not score. It is a modest body of work, but it remains the main substance of his first-team record.

Bainbridge remains a developing professional rather than a settled senior figure. Sunderland is his parent club, but Kilmarnock is where his league career has had its clearest footing to date.

The transfer record shows a development-path player rather than a settled senior regular. Sunderland sent Bainbridge to Kilmarnock on loan in August 2024, recalled him in January 2025, then loaned him to South Shields in September 2025 – a move down the pyramid in search of minutes.
