James McGarry, born on 9 April 1998 (age 28), is a New Zealand left-back with Wellington Phoenix, where he wears the number 23 shirt. His current market value is around £213,000, according to Transfermarkt.
His most productive league season came in 2022–23 with Central Coast Mariners, when he scored two goals in 11 appearances. That is modest output, but from full-back it at least shows a player capable of offering something beyond the routine up and down the touchline.
McGarry is now back with Wellington Phoenix, with the 2026–27 campaign so far bringing one A-League appearance. His career has been built across the New Zealand and Australian game, as a steady left-sided defender rather than a headline act.
