Jon McCracken, born on the 24th of May in 2000, and a native of Scotland, currently serves as the goalkeeper for Dundee and dons the number 1 jersey. He stands at a formidable height of 1.85m (around 6 feet) and weighs in at 77kg (12st 1lb).
At present, his market value is gauged at approximately €500k, roughly translating to £425,000, according to Transfermarkt.
McCracken began his football journey in August 2016 with Norwich City, competing in the Championship in England as a trainee. In July of 2022, he was loaned from Norwich City to Bohemian FC, an Irish club featured in the Premier Division. His inaugural season at Bohemian FC saw him making a decent number of five first team appearances in league matches.
In a seemingly spiralling pattern of loans, McCracken was transferred from Norwich City in March of 2023 to Stevenage, of League One in England, where he made a single appearance in a league match for the 2022 - 2023 season. That Summer, he made yet another move, this time to Dundee in the Scottish Premiership, still on loan from Norwich City.
McCracken's time at Dundee translated into more game time, with 12 appearances in league matches in the 2023 - 2024 season. This was followed by 16 league appearances in the 2024 - 2025 season. So far, in the ongoing 2025 - 2026 season, McCracken has held the fort in 33 league matches.
Despite the relative stability he found at Dundee, McCracken found himself back on the loanee journey in September of 2023 when he played with Accrington Stanley from League Two in England. However, he landed back at Dundee in February of 2024, where, as mentioned, his appearances in league matches increased.
In July of 2024, McCracken made a noteworthy change from his pattern of temporary tenure, when he was transferred from Norwich City to Dundee, this time around, on a permanent basis. The goalkeeper's impact at the club continued to grow. He played a notable role in both the 2025 - 2026 League Cup and Scottish Cup for Dundee, with two starts in each.
Indeed, McCracken's career so far has been a series of loans and appearances in diverse football cultures and leagues, from England to Ireland and back home to Scotland. However, his current stint at Dundee seems to be the longest and most stable so far, showcasing his growing prominence in the first team and paving the way for what could be a promising future in football.
