Scott Tanser

Scott Tanser of St Mirren was born in Blackpool, England on 23 October 1994 (age 30).

Scott Tanser, hailing originally from England, was born on the 23rd of October, 1994, which at present makes him 30 years of age. This accomplished chap plies his trade as a left back for the Scottish side St Mirren. His physical attributes stand him in good stead on the pitch, being 5ft 11in (or 1.81m) tall and tipping the scales at 11st 2lb (equivalent to 71kg). The number 3 jersey is Tanser's insignia on the field.

Tracing Tanser's early career, one finds that he made his entree into professional football in 2012, when he joined Rochdale, a team competing in England's National League. This move marked the commencement of Tanser's journey with Rochdale that spanned five seasons from 2012 to 2017. His initial season only saw him making one appearance in league matches. However, his performance peaked in the 2014-2015 season, where he stepped on the pitch 30 times and managed to bag a goal. Over the next two seasons, his involvement declined, with him making just seven and five appearances respectively.

Come January 2017, Tanser was ready to embrace a new venture and departed Rochdale to join Port Vale, another English team competing in League One. His stay at Port Vale, although brief, saw him step out onto the field 11 times in league matches during the lone 2016 - 2017 season he had with them.

Tanser's career took a transnational turn in July 2017, when he exchanged Port Vale in England for St Johnstone in the Scottish Championship. There was a marked increase in his time on the field, with Tanser featuring in 29 matches in his inaugural 2017 – 2018 season. This increased to 37 appearances the following year, in which he also hit the back of the net thrice. Since then, Tanser consistently made around 30 appearances per season until his departure in 2021, tallying five goals during his term.

In July 2021, Tanser opted to continue his Scottish voyage by transferring to the Premiership side, St Mirren. Demonstrating a consistently solid performance over four seasons, Tanser's appearances numbered around 30 matches per season. Scoring remained a part of his game as well, totting up to seven goals over this stretch. As we look to the 2025 – 2026 season, Tanser continues to be a vital player for St Mirren.

Tanser has shown his mettle not just in league matches but in cups as well. He began his League Cup 2025 - 2026 endeavour for St Mirren with two starts and one substitute appearance, and displayed commitment in the 2024 - 2025 Scottish Cup where he notched up a start for St Mirren.
