Craig Halkett, born on 29 May 1995 (age 31), is a Scottish central defender with Hearts, where he wears number 4. His current market value is around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Halkett came through at Rangers, but his early loan spells were the more useful part of his education. Clyde and Berwick Rangers gave him senior football at an age when centre-halves tend to learn quickly, or get found out quickly.
Livingston was where he properly established himself. His best league season came in 2018-19, when he scored seven goals in 34 appearances – a strong return for a central defender and a clear part of his value at set pieces.
He later moved to Hearts and has remained primarily a centre-half there. His 2026-27 season includes one Scottish Cup appearance for the club.
Halkett’s career has followed a steady Scottish route: early loans, a strong Livingston spell, and a longer run at Hearts. He is an established defender rather than a decorative one, with enough goal threat to be useful at both ends.
