Joe Hugill, born on 19 October 2003 (age 23), is an English striker with Kilmarnock, where he wears the number 9 shirt. His current market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His senior career has taken its clearest shape at Rugby Park. Across two league seasons with Kilmarnock, Hugill has made 26 league appearances and scored 10 goals, a tidy enough return for a forward still at the stage where regular football matters more than reputation.
