Kieran Trippier, the English defender born on 19th September 1990 (34 years of age), is likely a name you've heard called out on the pitch at St James' Park, Newcastle. Standing at 5 ft 8 in (1.73m) and weighing at 11st 2lb (71kg), Trippier isn't easily overlooked on the field, especially when donning the number 2 jersey. Currently playing as a right back for Newcastle United, it's a position he wears with aplomb, exemplifying his defensive skills.
With a market value of roughly £3.5m (as reported by Transfermarkt), Trippier's contract with Newcastle United is set to expire on 30th June 2026, with a little over a year left on his current agreement.
Starting his senior career at Barnsley back in the 2009 - 2010 season, Trippier's been on something of a British football tour. His debut season saw him make three first-team appearances at Barnsley, turning heads enough to see him make a further 39 appearances during the 2010 - 2011 season, and even adding a couple of goals to his credit.
By the 2011 season, Trippier had found himself at Burnley, another English Club. Over the course of 4 seasons from 2011 - 2015, Trippier became a reliable presence on the field, making numerous appearances annually and tallying four goals over the duration.
From Burnley, Trippier found his recent home at Tottenham Hotspur, where he made contributions from the 2015 - 2016 season to the 2018 - 2019 season. His ability shone through with a total of 69 appearances and two goals.
Crossing the waters for the 2019 season, Trippier swapped jerseys to Atletico Madrid, where he became a regular on the Spain-based squad for three seasons. But since 2021, his boots have been adding clout to the Toon army's line - Newcastle United.
From 2021 to the ongoing 2025 season, Trippier's been donning Newcastle's black and white stripes. Given his track record of being a steadfast back right throughout his career, it's of no surprise that he's become an increasingly important player for the Magpies.
His prowess isn't only felt on the Premier League pitches. Trippier's also made his mark in the Champions League, the FA Cup and the League Cup; all during his time with Newcastle. His worth as a player continues to underscore his place in the Newcastle United squad, as they move forward in the 2025 - 2026 season.
