Michael McKenna

Michael McKenna of Arbroath was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on 4 January 1991 (age 35).

Michael McKenna, born 4 January 1991 (age 35), is a Scottish attacking midfielder with Arbroath. A 5ft 10in player, he has built his career in the Scottish game without much fuss, operating mainly through the middle rather than as a wide forward.

His most productive league spell came at Berwick Rangers in 2017-18, when he scored six goals in 19 appearances. That remains the cleanest snapshot of his attacking return: useful rather than spectacular, and enough to mark him out as more than just a tidy midfielder.

At Arbroath in 2026-27, he has made six appearances across all competitions, including Championship and League Cup outings. His current market value is around £170,000, according to Transfermarkt.

McKenna’s career is that of an established Scottish professional, shaped by steady service at clubs outside the top end of the Premiership. Arbroath is his current stage, with his role still centred on midfield work and occasional attacking contribution.
