Jamie McGrath

Jamie McGrath of Hibernian was born in Athboy, Rep. Ireland on 30 September 1996 (age 29).

Jamie McGrath, born on 30 September 1996 (age 29), is a Republic of Ireland attacking midfielder with Hibernian, where he wears number 17. His current market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt.

His sharpest league return came at St Mirren in 2020–21, when he scored 10 goals in 35 appearances. That remains the season that best shows the point of him as a midfielder – useful between the lines, and capable of adding goals rather than simply decorating the play.

McGrath later moved on to Hibernian, where he has made one Scottish Cup appearance in 2026–27. He also has a Scottish Cup win from elsewhere in his career, a solid marker in a career built more on steady top-flight usefulness than noise.
