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. He wears number 17 and remains a regular first-team presence in 2025 - 2026, which is usually the most useful measure of a player’s standing once the early promise has given way to the weekly grind.

McGrath’s most productive league season came at St Mirren in 2020 - 2021, when he scored 10 goals in 35 appearances. That campaign gave him a firmer profile in Scotland: not a headline act, but a midfielder capable of adding goals from areas where too many players are content to circulate the ball safely.

His career has also brought a Scottish Cup win away from Hibernian. At Easter Road, he has continued to carry a proper workload, making 34 league appearances and scoring eight league goals in 2025 - 2026, along with one Scottish Cup outing. Across all competitions for Hibs, that leaves him on 35 appearances and eight goals for the season.

His current market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt. McGrath’s career is that of an established Premiership midfielder: productive at St Mirren, still involved heavily at Hibernian, and relevant because he continues to play and contribute rather than simply occupy a squad place.

McGrath's career path took him from Dundalk to St Mirren, then through Wigan Athletic, a Dundee United loan, Aberdeen and Hibernian. At 29, the pattern suggested an established Premiership-level midfielder rather than a developing prospect, with repeated returns to Scottish football after his move to England.

McGrath's transfer history was shaped more by availability than fees. Dundalk to St Mirren, Wigan Athletic to Aberdeen and Aberdeen to Hibernian were all free transfers, while his move from St Mirren to Wigan Athletic carried an undisclosed fee and his Dundee United spell came on loan. The sequence showed a player moving between Scotland and England without a major fee attached.
