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 who has built a solid senior career in Scotland. His best league return came at St Mirren in 2020-2021, when he scored 10 goals in 35 appearances, a season that did most to establish him as more than just a neat supporting player.

Now at Hibernian, McGrath remains a regular first-team presence rather than a name drifting around the edge of the squad. Wearing number 17, he has made 34 league appearances in 2025-2026, scoring eight goals, and has 40 appearances and nine goals in all competitions, including European qualifiers. That is a useful return from a central attacking midfielder, without requiring the brass band.

His career has also brought a Scottish Cup win, while his current market value is around ยฃ1m according to Transfermarkt. McGrathโ€™s career to this point has been straightforward enough: productive at St Mirren, established at Hibs, and still involved regularly in 2025-2026.
