Graeme Shinnie, a Scottish-born footballer, was brought into this world on the 4th of August, 1991. At 5ft 8in (1.75m) tall and weighing 11st 4lb (72kg), Shinnie primarily operates in the midfield, more specifically as a central defensive midfielder for Aberdeen, appropriating the number 4 jersey.
The market has placed a value of approximately £200k on Shinnie's footballing abilities, according to transfer market experts Transfermarkt. His tenure at Aberdeen is entering its final stages, his contract set to meet its end on the 31st of May 2026.
Shinnie's journey in professional football saw its advent in July 2008 when he was enrolled as a trainee at Inverness CT in Scotland's League One. His first foray into the first team came in the 2009-2010 season, where he made a solitary appearance. As the seasons went on, Shinnie grew into an imposing presence in the Inverness CT, tallying up impressive appearances and goals over his tenure there.
In July 2015, Shinnie made the leap from Inverness CT to Aberdeen, trading the League One battlegrounds for the grand stages of the Premiership. His dedication to the sport shone through as he consistently featured and contributed goal-wise to Aberdeen's campaign season after season.
Shinnie's voyage saw him cross borders, with a transfer from Aberdeen to Derby County in England's Championship in July 2019. He continued his consistent appearances in the Derby County outfit for several seasons, offering his services in both roles of a goalscorer and a stable midfield presence.
In a seemingly surprising transference, Shinnie moved to Wigan Athletic in England's League One in January 2022, with the exact figures veiled behind undisclosed terms. Shinnie's stay at Wigan Athletic was temporary, as shown by his 19 first team appearances.
Getting back to his Scottish roots, Shinnie was loaned to Aberdeen from Wigan Athletic in January 2023 and later transferred permanently in July 2023, again for undisclosed terms. As with his previous stints, Shinnie was an integral part of the team, making regular appearances and chipping in with goals.
Shinnie's football endeavours weren't confined to league matches, as he also graced the League Cup 2025-2026, the Scottish Cup 2024-2025, the Europa League Qualifiers 2025-2026, and the Conference League 2023-2024, delivering solid performances and scoring for Aberdeen.
