Connor Clark Barron (born 29 August 2002) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL Championship side Middlesbrough, on loan from Scottish Premiership side Rangers and the Scotland national team.[4]

He began his career at Aberdeen, and during his time there had spells on loan with Brechin City and Kelty Hearts before joining Rangers in 2024.

Club career

[edit]

Aberdeen

[edit]

Barron started playing football with Kintore United, before joining Aberdeen's youth academy at the age of eight; he went on to play for all of the age groups before signing his first professional contract and being promoted to the first team squad.[citation needed]

On 22 January 2022, Barron made his senior debut for Aberdeen, coming on as a half-time substitute in a 3–0 Scottish Cup victory against Edinburgh City.[5] Two weeks earlier, he had signed a contract committing him to the Dons until 2024.[6] He was an unused substitute during Aberdeen's defeat in the 2023 Scottish League Cup final against Rangers on 17 December 2023.[7]

Barron left the club at the end of the 2023–24 season, upon the expiration of his contract.[8]

Rangers

[edit]

On 20 June 2024, following the expiry of his contract with Aberdeen, it was announced that Barron would join fellow Scottish Premiership side Rangers signing a four-year deal.[9][10] Due to Barron's age and him being club trained, Aberdeen were entitled to a transfer fee but negotiations between the clubs stalled, therefore, an SPFL tribunal was required to decided the compensation.[11] In December 2024, Aberdeen confirmed they had been awarded a fee of £639,920, with an additional £250,000 of performance-based adds and also a sell-on clause.[12]

On 3 August 2024, Barron made his debut for Rangers in a league match away to Heart of Midlothian.[13]

Middlesbrough (loan)

[edit]

On 1 September 2026, Barron signed on loan for English side Middlesbrough.[14]

International career

[edit]

Barron has represented Scotland at under-16,[15] under-17 and under-21 levels.

In September 2024 he was called up to the full squad for games against Poland and Portugal, but was an unused substitute in both matches.[16] He was called up again the following month as well.[17] Barron made his international debut on 9 June 2025, as Scotland beat Liechtenstein 4-0, replacing Billy Gilmour in the 78th minute.[18]
