Irish midfielder Jamie McGrath, born 30th September 1996, currently plies his trade with Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership. Standing at 5ft 9in (1.76m) and weighing in at 11st 2lb (71kg), he wears the number 17 shirt and operates mainly in a central attacking role. McGrath has also had the honour of representing his home nation, the Republic of Ireland, at international level.
As of this writing, McGrath's market value is estimated to be approximately £1m, according to Transfermarkt.
McGrath's professional journey started in January 2014 when he joined St Patrick's Athletic in the Republic of Ireland's Premier Division. His debut season saw him make only one first team appearance in league matches. However, by 2015 and 2016, he successfully made 23 first team appearances in each of the seasons scoring two goals in each as well.
In January 2017, he moved from St Patrick's Athletic to Dundalk, also in the Republic's Premier Division. During his time at Dundalk, spanning three seasons, McGrath made 65 first team appearances and scored nine goals.
By January 2020, McGrath sought new pastures and transferred from Dundalk to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership. Here, he made 60 first team appearances over three seasons and scored a respectable 12 goals.
In a twist of fate, McGrath moved yet again in January 2022 to play for Wigan Athletic in England's League One for a fee that remains unknown to us. However, his stay at Wigan was short-lived as he was loaned to Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership in August 2022. During his loan spell, he faced 32 games and netted eight goals.
August 2023 saw him move back to the Scottish Premiership, this time with Aberdeen - still technically a Wigan Athletic player. Over two seasons at Aberdeen, McGrath graced the pitch 59 times and hit the back of the net on 13 occasions.
In July 2025, Jamie McGrath transferred from Aberdeen to his current club, Hibernian. So far in the ongoing 2025-2026 season, he has appeared 26 times and scored eight goals in league matches. Furthermore, he has also played a significant part in the League Cup, the Scottish Cup, Europa League Qualifiers and Conference League Qualifiers, contributing one goal in the Europa League Qualifiers.
