Michael McKenna

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

Michael McKenna, born on 4 January 1991 (age 35), is a Scottish attacking midfielder with a career built largely in the domestic game. He is valued at around £170,000 by Transfermarkt, a fairly modest tag for a player whose work has been more practical than glamorous.

His most productive league season came with Berwick Rangers in 2017-18, when he scored six goals in 19 appearances. That remains the clearest statistical marker of his attacking output, and a reminder that he has carried a goal threat from midfield without being defined by it.

At Arbroath, McKenna has been used primarily through the middle as a central attacking midfielder. In 2026-27, he has made 13 appearances in all competitions, including nine Championship appearances and four in the League Cup, scoring once.

McKenna’s career is a steady Scottish football one: a midfielder with experience, some end product, and a current role at Arbroath rather than a profile built on fuss.
