Jordan McGhee

Jordan McGhee of Motherwell was born in East Kilbride, Scotland on 24 July 1996 (age 29).

Jordan McGhee, born on 24 July 1996 (age 29), is a Scottish right-back now with Motherwell, where he wears squad number 6. His current market value is around £170,000, according to Transfermarkt.

McGhee’s career is shaped most clearly by his time at Dundee. Across four seasons there, he made 119 league appearances and scored 13 league goals, a sizeable body of work rather than a passing stop. His strongest attacking return came in 2023–24, when he scored five times in 33 league appearances.

He has since moved on to Motherwell, where his 2025–26 season has brought seven league appearances and one in the Scottish Cup, without a goal. That leaves him on eight appearances in all competitions for the club so far.

McGhee’s senior career is best read through that long Dundee spell, with Motherwell now the next stage rather than the main chapter. He remains an experienced Scottish defender with a solid amount of Premiership football behind him.

The transfer pattern is pragmatic rather than high-value: McGhee joined Motherwell from Dundee on a free transfer in July 2025, having also moved from Falkirk to Dundee on a free in 2019. Earlier moves included an undisclosed switch from Hearts to Falkirk and a loan to Middlesbrough, suggesting a career shaped by opportunities for minutes rather than fee-driven progression.
