Zac Sapsford, an Australian-born footballer, delights spectators with his striking prowess as Dundee United's forward. Born on the 16th of August 2002, the lad is just starting to make his mark in the beautiful game at the age of 23. At a striking height of 1.78m (about 5ft 10in), he cuts an impressive figure on the field, balanced by a sturdy weight of 70kg (about 11st). Fans at the Tannadice Park cheer him on in the number 9 jersey.
Sapsford began his career on home turf, transferring from Sydney FC to Western Sydney Wanderers in the Australian A-League in July 2022. His debut 2022 - 2023 season gave him a taste of the first-team action, with four league match appearances under his belt. Progression was steady, as he made 12 appearances and scored two goals in the following 2023 - 2024 season. But it was in the 2024 - 2025 season that Sapsford really started to fire, making 25 first-team appearances and netting eight goals for the Wanderers.
In July 2025, Sapsford swapped the Sydney sunshine for the Scottish drizzle as he transferred from Western Sydney Wanderers to Dundee United. The transfer fee remains undisclosed, but the young Aussie has started to prove his worth already. In his debut season of 2025 - 2026 with Dundee United, Sapsford has made a noticeable impact, making 15 first-team appearances and scoring four goals in league matches. His talent also shone in the Conference League Qualifiers for Dundee United, where he netted two goals in four starts during the 2025 - 2026 season.
While his time at Celtic Park remains elusive, one can be sure his future in football is looking bright.
