Early life

Telfer was born in Carluke and grew up supporting Rangers.[1] He joined the club as a youth player after being spotted at a Football in the Community course at Bell College, Hamilton when he was eight.[2]

Playing career

Club

Rangers

After progressing through the Rangers academy, Telfer signed his first professional contract with the club in November 2011.[2] He would make one competitive first team appearance for the club against Stenhousemuir in April 2014.[3] On 13 May 2014, he was in the Rangers side that won the Scottish Youth Cup beating Hearts 8–7 on penalties following a 2–2 draw, at St Mirren Park.[4] Telfer later describe playing in the Scottish Youth Cup Final as his biggest game of his life.[5]

At the end of the 2013–14 season, Telfer's future at Rangers appeared to be in doubt when Dundee United were reported to be keen to sign him.[6] Dundee United then made a £50,000 bid to sign Telfer, which was rejected by Rangers, who offered him a new contract.[7][8]

Dundee United

After rejecting the offer of a new contract with Rangers, Telfer signed for Dundee United in June 2014, with a compensation payment still to be agreed between the clubs.[9] Telfer's departure from Rangers was commented on by the club's manager Ally McCoist, who described him as a "great prospect" and said that the club had wanted to keep him but it had been Telfer's decision to leave.[1] The level of compensation to be paid was set by an independent tribunal,[10] with Dundee United paying £200,000 to Rangers in January 2015.[11]

He made his Dundee United debut as a substitute against Aberdeen in the opening match of the 2014–15 season,[12] and scored his first goal for the club in a 3–0 win over St Mirren on 1 November 2014.[13] Telfer was named as SPFL Young Player of the Month for November 2014.[14] On 1 January 2015 he scored United's sixth goal in a 6–2 Derby victory over local rivals Dundee.[15] This was followed by two goals against Motherwell later that month.[16] Telfer was a substitute for the Scottish League Cup Final, but was unused as Dundee United lost 2–0 to Celtic.[17] He made a 25 appearance and scored 4 times in his first season at the club.

Livingston

Having been unable to gain a regular place in the Dundee United team, Telfer moved on loan to Scottish Championship side Livingston in January 2016 until the end of the 2015–16 season.[18]

International

Telfer has represented the Scotland U17 and Scotland U19 sides.[19][20][21]
