Oscar Priestman

Oscar Priestman of Motherwell was born on 25 March 2003 (age 23).

Oscar Priestman, born on 25 March 2003 (age 23), is an Australian centre midfielder with Motherwell, where he wears squad number 12. His current market value is around £255,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His senior career has been shaped mainly at Western Sydney Wanderers. Across two league seasons there he made 50 appearances and scored two goals, with the 2023–2024 campaign bringing 25 league outings and one goal. It was the spell that gave him his proper first-team grounding rather than just a line on a CV.

Priestman has since moved to Motherwell and remained involved in the side through 2025–2026. He has made 28 league appearances, along with two in the Scottish Cup and one in Conference League qualifying, taking him to 31 appearances in all competitions for the club.

At this stage, Priestman’s career is still a developing one: established first at Western Sydney Wanderers, then carried into regular senior football at Motherwell.
