Joe Hugill, born on 19 October 2003 (age 22), is an English striker whose senior profile is tied most clearly to Kilmarnock. Wearing the number 9 shirt, he has given Killie a direct centre-forward presence and, more importantly, goals.
His best league return came in 2025-26, when he scored eight times in 15 appearances for Kilmarnock. Across two seasons with the club, he has 16 league appearances and nine league goals, which is a tidy enough return without needing much dressing up.
In 2026-27, Hugill has started with one goal from one league appearance, alongside one goal in four League Cup games. That leaves him on five appearances and two goals for Kilmarnock across all competitions this season. His market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt.
For now, Hugill’s career is a Kilmarnock story: a young English striker building his record in Scotland, with his most productive football so far coming at Rugby Park.
