Chris Kane

Chris Kane of Dunfermline Athletic was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on 5 September 1994 (age 32).

Chris Kane, born on 5 September 1994 (age 32), is a Scottish striker now with Dunfermline Athletic, where he wears squad number 20. His current market value is around £43,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His career is tied most closely to St Johnstone. Early loan spells gave him the usual hard miles of senior football before he became a long-serving option in Perth, where he made 199 league appearances across 11 seasons and scored 26 league goals. He was also part of the St Johnstone squad that won the Scottish Cup and League Cup, the high-water mark of that period.

Kane later moved on to Dunfermline, where his best league return came in 2024-25 with 11 goals in 28 appearances. In 2026-27, he has made eight league appearances, along with three League Cup appearances, four Scottish Cup appearances and four Premiership play-off appearances. Across all competitions for Dunfermline that season, he has 19 appearances and four goals.

It is a career shaped above all by St Johnstone: a steady, durable centre-forward’s path, with development through loans, a long spell in Perth, major domestic honours, and a later role at Dunfermline.
