Charlie Gilmour

Charlie Gilmour of Dunfermline Athletic was born in Brighton, England on 11 February 1999 (age 27).

Charlie Gilmour, born on 11 February 1999 (age 27), is a Scottish central defensive midfielder with Dunfermline Athletic, where he wears number eight. His current market value is around £128,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His career has settled into a solid professional rhythm rather than a headline-grabbing one. He has collected a Scottish Cup and a League Cup at other clubs, decent enough medals for a player whose game is built more on position, discipline and continuity than spectacle.

At Dunfermline, his most productive league campaign came in 2025-26, when he scored two goals in 31 appearances. In 2026-27, he has added one league appearance, along with further involvement in the Championship, League Cup, Scottish Cup and Premiership play-offs, scoring once across 13 appearances in all competitions for the club.

Gilmour’s profile is a straightforward one: a Scottish midfielder now established at Dunfermline, with cup honours behind him and regular senior football forming the main line of his career.

A loan move from St Johnstone to Cove Rangers in August 2022 was followed by a return in January 2023, then free transfers to Inverness CT in July 2023 and Dunfermline Athletic in July 2025. The pattern suggests pragmatic squad movement rather than fee-led progression.
