Barney Stewart

Barney Stewart of Falkirk was born on 7 April 2004 (age 22).

Barney Stewart, born on 7 April 2004 (age 22), is an English striker whose senior career has been shaped overwhelmingly by Falkirk. At 6ft 3in (1.91m), he gives them a tall focal point through the middle, and his record there has moved beyond the merely promising.

Across two seasons with Falkirk, Stewart has made 33 league appearances and scored 10 league goals. His most productive spell has come in 2025–26, with eight league goals in 17 appearances, keeping him a regular part of the first-team picture rather than a young player hovering around the edges.

He has also added two goals in four Scottish Cup appearances in 2025–26, taking his Falkirk total for the season to 10 goals in 21 matches across all competitions. His market value is around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt.

Stewart remains a developing centre-forward, but his career so far is plainly a Falkirk story: regular games, a useful scoring return, and continuing relevance in the current side.

Barney Stewart has been used as a first-choice striker for Falkirk this season, starting all 17 Premiership matches and scoring eight goals. That return, plus two goals in four Scottish Cup appearances, points to a direct scoring role rather than a squad option – his output is meaningful in a side where regular starts and goals are aligned.

Stewart’s senior profile is still developing, but the trajectory is upward: from Heriot-Watt University to Falkirk in January 2025, followed by a loan spell at Dunfermline Athletic and a return to Falkirk. At 22, the available record suggests a player moving from lower-profile football into a more visible senior role rather than one with a long, settled club history.

The transfer record is more about pathway than major spending. Stewart joined Falkirk from Heriot-Watt University for an undisclosed fee, then went to Dunfermline Athletic on loan in September 2025 before returning to Falkirk in January 2026. There is no evidence of a significant fee market around him yet, but the loan pattern suggests clubs are trying to convert potential into senior minutes.
