Jamie McGrath

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

Jamie McGrath, born on 30 September 1996 (age 30), 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 most productive league season came with St Mirren in 2020-21, when he scored 10 goals in 35 appearances. That spell showed the best of his game: tidy between the lines, useful from advanced midfield areas, and capable of adding goals without needing the whole side built around him.

McGrath’s career has also included a Scottish Cup win away from Hibernian, a solid enough marker in a career spent largely in the Scottish game. At Hibs in 2026-27, he has made seven league appearances, two League Cup appearances with one goal, and one Scottish Cup appearance, giving him 10 appearances and one goal across all competitions for the club.

He is an established Premiership-level midfielder rather than a headline act: experienced, technically decent, and useful in the right role. His career has taken in a strong spell at St Mirren, a cup success elsewhere, and his current place in the Hibernian squad.

In the 2026-27 Premiership campaign McGrath has made 7 appearances – 5 starts and 2 as a substitute – while contributing in cup competitions with one goal from two League Cup appearances and a single Scottish Cup outing; the mix of starts and bench minutes points to a rotational role for Hibernian rather than an undisputed first-choice berth.
