Daniel Finlayson is a Northern Ireland right-back, born on 19 January 2001 (age 25). An imposing 6ft 3in (1.91m), he is currently with St Johnstone, where he wears squad number 19.
His strongest league season came with Linfield in 2023-24, when he scored three goals in 33 appearances. For a full-back, that is a useful return rather than something to get carried away about, but it points to a player capable of contributing beyond the defensive basics.
At St Johnstone, Finlayson has made one League Cup appearance in the 2026-27 season. His career to this point is that of an established professional still building his profile outside the usual noise, moving from a solid Linfield spell into the Scottish game.
