Dylan Tait

Dylan Tait of Dundee United was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 1 December 2001 (age 24).

Dylan Tait, born on 1 December 2001 (age 24), is a Scottish central midfielder with Dundee United. His market value is around £680,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His career is still most strongly shaped by Falkirk. Across two seasons there he made 71 league appearances and scored five goals, the sort of workload that says more than a tidy highlight reel. His best league return came in 2025-26, with three goals in 38 appearances.

At Dundee United, Tait remains a regular first-team presence rather than squad decoration. In 2025-26 he made 45 appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals, with 38 of those games coming in the league.

Tait’s senior career has been built on steady involvement, with Falkirk providing the main body of work and Dundee United now giving him a continuing platform at first-team level.
