Centre-back Gareth Rodger is a tall and powerful defender who has also blossomed as a deadly finisher in setpiece situations, with his eye for a scoring chance and excellent reactions.

Originally with Hutchison Vale, Gareth signed a youth contract with St Johnstone in 2009, turning professional the following year. During his time in Perth he had loan spells with Brechin City, Montrose and Ballymena United. He left Saints for Forfar Athletic in early 2017, moving to Brechin City for 2017/18, and he signed for City on 1 July 2017. Gareth was injured in late 2017 and had a tough time regaining his first-team position, but his effort and attitude eventually saw him restored to the starting line-up. He repaid his manager’s confidence with four goals in the final eleven matches of the 2017/18 season.
