About Angus Gunn

Born 1996. Angus Gunn is a British association football player.

Club career Manchester City Gunn began his career at his hometown club Norwich City, before moving to Manchester City in 2011, for which a tribunal decided Manchester City had to pay Β£250,000. He signed a three-year professional contract in June 2013. He was named on the substitutes bench on a number of occasions throughout the 2016–17 season, but did not play for Manchester City that season. He would ultimately be the only player to be ever present for Norwich in the league during the season, also being ever present in the FA Cup and making three appearances in the EFL Cup. At the end of the season, Norwich fans voted him third in the Player of the Season vote behind James Maddison and Grant Hanley.

Southampton Gunn joined Southampton in July 2018, signing a five-year deal with the club, for a fee estimated at Β£13.5 million. He made his debut for the club on 28 August 2018 in an EFL Cup tie against Brighton & Hove Albion, and his Premier League debut on 2 January 2019, making several vital saves and keeping a clean sheet and earning the man of the match award in a 0–0 draw against Chelsea.

Stoke City (loan) In October 2020 Gunn joined EFL Championship side Stoke City on loan for the 2020–21 season as a replacement for the departing Jack Butland. Gunn made his debut on 27 October 2020 against Swansea City coming on as a half time substitute for the injured Adam Davies. He kept his place for the next three matches before he suffered an ankle injury. Josef Bursik took his place in goal until both Gunn and Davies returned to fitness in January. Gunn made 15 appearances for Stoke until his season was ended by a foot injury in April 2021.

Norwich City On 23 June 2021, Gunn made a permanent return to Norwich, for an undisclosed fee. On 28 April 2025, it was announced that Gunn would leave the club at the end of the season, when his contract expired.

Nottingham Forest On 6 August 2025, Gunn joined Nottingham Forest on a one-year deal. He made his Forest debut on 1 February 2026 in a Premier League match against Crystal Palace at the City Ground as a half-time replacement for the injured Matz Sels. This turned out to be his only game for the club as he was released on 10 June 2026.

San Jose Earthquakes On 8 July 2026, it was announced that Gunn would join Major League Soccer side San Jose Earthquakes on five days later when the MLS transfer window opened. His contract with the club would run until the end of the 2029–30 Major League Soccer season.

International career England

Despite his father Bryan representing Scotland at international level, Angus represented England at various youth levels. Gunn received his first call up to the England national team in November 2017 for a friendly match against Brazil, after Jack Butland withdrew from the squad with an injury. In March 2018, Gunn was offered the opportunity by Scotland manager Alex McLeish to switch allegiances to Scotland, but decided to stay with the England national team, and was called up by Gareth Southgate to their training camp ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Scotland Gunn switched his international allegiance to Scotland in March 2023, and was selected in their squad for UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying matches that month.

He made his debut on 25 March against Cyprus at Hampden Park, keeping a clean sheet in a 3–0 victory. Three days later, Gunn recorded his second clean sheet in his second appearance for Scotland as they defeated Spain 2–0 to go top of Group A. Overall, Gunn made six appearances for Scotland during Euro 2024 qualification, keeping four clean sheets as the Scots reached a second consecutive European Championship.

On 7 June 2024, Gunn was named in Scotland's squad for the UEFA Euro 2024 finals in Germany. A week later, he started the opening match of the tournament, where he was beaten five times as Scotland lost 5–1 to hosts Germany in Munich. He went on to start against both Switzerland and Hungary as Scotland finished bottom of Group A with one point from three matches.

On 19 May 2026, Gunn was selected in Steve Clarke's 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He was selected ahead of Craig Gordon for the tournament, keeping a clean sheet in the opening game against Haiti as the Scots won 1–0. He subsequently conceded four goals in two games against Morocco and Brazil as Scotland failed to make it out of the group stage.
