Ben Stirling (born 16 August 1998) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder or centre-back for Musselburgh Athletic.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Stirling began his career with Hibernian, moving on loan to Berwick Rangers in July 2016.[3][4] He moved on loan to Cowdenbeath in August 2017,[5] but the loan was cut short in January 2018 after he was recalled by Hibernian manager Neil Lennon.[6][7] He spent further loans spells at Arbroath in September 2019,[8][9][10] and Alloa Athletic in January 2020.[11]

He moved to Hamilton Academical in September 2020.[12][13] On 14 January 2022, Stirling joined Scottish League Two side Edinburgh City on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[14]

He was released by Hamilton at the end of his contract in May 2022.[15] Stirling then signed with Edinburgh City again, this time permanently. However, he missed a big part of the 2022–23 season due to injuries.[16] In January 2024 he signed for Stenhousemuir,[17] and later played for Tranent Juniors,[18] and Musselburgh Athletic.[19]

International career

[edit]

Stirling made three appearances for Scotland at under-16 level in 2013.[20]
