Jordan McGhee

Jordan McGhee of Motherwell was born in East Kilbride, Scotland on 24 July 1996 (age 29).

Jordan McGhee, born on 24 July 1996 (age 29), is a Scottish defender now with Motherwell, where he primarily plays at right-back and wears squad number 6.

McGhee’s senior career is shaped far more by Dundee than by any other stop. Across four seasons there, he made 119 league appearances and scored 13 league goals, enough to mark him out as a steady and useful first-team presence rather than a passing squad name.

His most productive league campaign came in 2023-24, when he scored five times in 33 appearances for Dundee. That return gave a bit more edge to a career otherwise built on durability, positional work and regular selection.

At Motherwell in 2025-26, McGhee has made seven league appearances without scoring. His current market value is around £170,000, according to Transfermarkt.

It is a career with Dundee at its centre and Motherwell as the current chapter: solid, Scottish Premiership-level service, with the numbers at Dens Park doing most of the talking.

Jordan McGhee made seven Premiership appearances for Motherwell in 2025-26, all from the bench, and did not score. The absence of starts points to a depth role at right back rather than a settled place in the side, while his clean disciplinary record reflects limited exposure as much as restraint.
