Jon McCracken, a Scottish goalie, was born on the 24th May 2000, fitting snugly inside the goal at 6 feet (1.85m) tall and tipping the scales at a sturdy 12 stone 1lb (77kg). Currently, McCracken is the wearer of the No. 1 jersey for Dundee. As of now his market value hovers around £425k, a figure that has been confirmed via Transfermarkt. His career has also seen him go through various transitions among different clubs and leagues.
In August 2016, a wee McCracken began his journey in professional football and joined Norwich City in England's Championship as a trainee. His skills were deemed ripe enough for a loan to Bohemian FC in the Premier Division in Rep. Ireland in July 2022, during which he made his first dip into the pool of first team football with five appearances in the debut season.
His transition to Stevenage in England's League One on loan in March 2023 did not proffer as much playtime, with McCracken making only one first team appearance in the entirety of the 2022 - 2023 season. His career took a favourable turn, nonetheless, when he joined Dundee in the Premiership offered another loan in July 2023. Not only did McCracken take to the pitch 12 times for league matches in the 2023 - 2024 season, he was also seen in action in 16 and 24 matches in the 2024 - 2025 and 2025 - 2026 seasons respectively.
Despite a brief detour to Accrington Stanley in England's League Two in September 2023, McCracken soon found himself back in the familiar territory of Dundee in February 2024. His second stint with the Scottish Premiership side remained as lucrative as the first, as he repeated his robust participation in matches across the 2023 - 2024, 2024 - 2025, and current 2025 - 2026 seasons, with first team appearances in 12, 16, and 24 matches respectively.
In July 2024, McCracken finally set his anchor down. He transferred from Norwich City and made Dundee his home in the Premiership in Scotland. Dundee's faith in him paid off, as he made 12 first team appearances in league matches in the 2023-2024 season, rising to 16 in season 2024-2025. The ongoing season, 2025-2026, has seen his highest involvement yet, with him already making 24 first team appearances.
Not restricting himself to league matches, McCracken has been a spectre in the posts for Dundee in cup matches too, with two starts in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 and one in the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026.
