Aston Oxborough

Aston Oxborough of Motherwell was born in Great Yarmouth, England on 9 May 1998 (age 28).

Aston Oxborough, born on 5 September 1998 (age 27), is an English goalkeeper with Dunfermline Athletic. A towering 6ft 5in (1.96m), he wears squad number 13 and has a current market value of around £255,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His career has been shaped above all by Motherwell, where he made 25 league appearances across the 2024-25 season. For a goalkeeper, that sort of run matters: it was the spell that gave him regular top-flight exposure and remains the clearest marker of his senior career so far.

Oxborough is now at Dunfermline Athletic, where in 2025-26 he has made 14 appearances in all competitions: nine in the Championship, two in the Scottish Cup and three in the Premiership play-offs. His career to this point is a straightforward one – a goalkeeper whose main body of senior work came at Motherwell, now continuing with Dunfermline.

Oxborough’s rating data is solid but uneven. His season average of 7.12 is respectable for a goalkeeper, while the gap between a high of 8.87 and a low of 5.2 points to some volatility in individual performances rather than a completely steady run.

Oxborough’s career has been shaped more by loans and resets than by a long settled spell. After coming through the Norwich City system, he had loan moves to Wealdstone and Barnet before leaving for Motherwell on a free transfer, then joining Dunfermline Athletic on loan. At 27, the trajectory suggests a goalkeeper still trying to turn senior exposure into a stable first-team role.

The transfer record is low-cost and practical: loans to Wealdstone and Barnet, a return to Norwich City, a free transfer to Motherwell and then a loan to Dunfermline Athletic. There are no fees listed, and the Dunfermline move looks like a step into the Championship for minutes rather than a transfer driven by market value.
