Yan Dhanda, an Englishman of considerable talent, was born into the wild and fast-paced world of football on the 14th of December 1998. Now aged 27, Dhanda has the tendency to strut his stuff in the central attacking midfielder position where he currently serves Dundee. He stands at a not-so-daubing but highly manoeuvrable 5ft 8in (1.73m) and weighs 10st 3lb (65kg). Dhanda proudly dons the number 21 shirt for his club.
For those interested in finances, according to Transfermarkt, Dhanda's current market value hovers close to £427,000.
This lad's journey in professional football began at Liverpool, a renowned club in the English Premier League. He then boarded a train to Swansea City in the Championship in July 2018. Dhanda's record at Swansea was steady rather than spectacular, scoring a total of five goals across 50 appearances from 2018 to 2022.
In July 2022, he left the swans of Swansea, ventured north across the border into Scotland, and dropped anchor at Ross County in the Championship. A fruitful couple of seasons followed as Dhanda netted ten goals in 65 appearances, a marked improvement in his strike rate.
His performances spurred a move to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership in July 2024. His time at Hearts was short but sweet, securing 25 appearances. However, Dhanda would soon be on the move again. In August 2025, he was loaned out to Dundee, another team in the Scottish Premiership. His current season 2025 - 2026, has already yielded two goals from 13 appearances, hinting at much more to come.
We wait with baited breath to see where Yan Dhanda's journey takes him next in his promising football career.
