Calvin William Ramsay (born 31 July 2003) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for EFL League One club Wigan Athletic, on loan from Premier League club Liverpool, and the Scotland national team.
Club career
Aberdeen
After progressing through the youth ranks at Aberdeen, Ramsay made his debut as a late substitute against Dundee United in March 2021, under caretaker manager Paul Sheerin. Ramsay went on to make another five appearances in his first season with the senior team.[5] He made his European debut for the club against Swedish side BK Häcken in July 2021 in a UEFA Conference League qualifier. He started at right back in a 5–1 win and assisting the first goal of the game. Ramsay won the SFWA Young Player of the Year award for 2021–22, his only full season with Aberdeen.[6]
Liverpool
Ramsay moved to Premier League club Liverpool in June 2022. He signed a five-year contract for an initial fee of £4.2m,[7][8] a club record sale for Aberdeen.[9]
On 1 November 2022, Ramsay made his debut for Liverpool when he came on as an 87th minute substitute in the 2-0 win against Napoli in the 2022–23 UEFA Champions League.[10] On 9 November 2022, he started his first game for Liverpool in the win against Derby County in the third round of the EFL Cup at Anfield.[11] In February 2023, having made only two appearances for Liverpool's first team, Ramsay was ruled out for the rest of the 2022–23 season following surgery on an unspecified injury.[12][13]
2023–24: Loans to Preston North End and Bolton Wanderers
On 13 June 2023, after having had his appearances limited for Liverpool, Ramsay was sent on loan to EFL Championship club Preston North End for the 2023–24 season.[14] He was recalled by Liverpool on 15 January 2024 after making two appearances during his time with Preston,[15] and two weeks later joined EFL League One side Bolton Wanderers on loan, following in the footsteps of his Liverpool team-mates Conor Bradley and Owen Beck, who had made the move to the Toughsheet Community Stadium in the previous season.[16]
2024–25: Loan to Wigan Athletic
On 5 June 2024, Ramsay was again sent on loan, this time to Wigan Athletic for the 2024–25 season.[17]
