Joe Hugill

Joe Hugill of Kilmarnock was born in Durham, England on 19 October 2003 (age 22).

Joe Hugill, born 19 October 2003 (age 22), is an English striker whose senior career has so far taken its clearest shape at Kilmarnock. He wears the no.9 shirt there, which is usually a fair hint about the job expected of him.

Kilmarnock have given him the main run of his career: 21 league appearances and nine league goals across two seasons. His most productive league spell came in 2025-26, when he scored eight times in 15 appearances.

In 2026-27, Hugill has added one goal in six league appearances, along with two goals in six League Cup games. Across all competitions that season, he has made 12 appearances and scored three times for Kilmarnock.

His market value is around £340,000, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, his profile is straightforward: an English centre-forward building his senior record chiefly through his Kilmarnock spell.
