Jamie McGrath

Jamie McGrath of Hibernian was born in Athboy, Rep. Ireland on 30 September 1996 (age 29).

Jamie McGrath, born on 30 September 1996 (age 29), is a Republic of Ireland attacking midfielder with Hibernian, where he wears the number 17 shirt. His current market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt.

McGrath’s clearest league return came at St Mirren in 2020-21, when he scored 10 goals in 35 appearances. That season remains the obvious marker in his Scottish career: enough end product from midfield to make him more than another neat player between the lines.

His career in Scotland also includes a Scottish Cup win away from Hibernian. At Hibs in 2026-27, he has made two league appearances, with one outing in the League Cup and one in the Scottish Cup, bringing him to four appearances across all competitions.

McGrath’s career has been built around steady Premiership involvement and one notably productive season at St Mirren, with Hibernian now the latest stage of his time in Scottish football.
