John Tod (born 16 May 2007, age 19) is a Scottish central defender with Dunfermline Athletic, where his senior career has taken shape. A left-sided squad number three, he has been used mainly through the middle of defence rather than as a passing curiosity in a spreadsheet.
Dunfermline have been the substantial part of the story so far. Tod has made 19 league appearances across two seasons, scoring once, with his busiest campaign coming in 2025-26 when he played 18 league matches and got his first league goal.
In 2026-27, he has added further first-team minutes for Dunfermline, including appearances in the Championship, League Cup, Scottish Cup and Premiership play-offs. His current market value is around £213,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Tod’s career remains at an early stage, but it is already closely tied to Dunfermline Athletic: a young Scottish centre-back building his senior record there, one appearance at a time.
