Oisin McEntee

Oisin McEntee of Heart of Midlothian was born in New York City, USA on 5 January 2001 (age 25).

Oisin McEntee, born on 5 January 2001 (age 25), is a Republic of Ireland midfielder whose senior career is shaped mainly by Hearts. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m), he has been used primarily in central defensive midfield, wearing the number six shirt.

Hearts have given his career its substance so far. Across two league seasons he has made 35 appearances and scored three goals, with his best return coming in 2025–26, when he scored twice in 28 league matches. That is the spell which set the outline: regular minutes, a functional role, and enough goal threat to be noted without dressing it up.

In 2026–27, McEntee has made seven league appearances and scored once for Hearts. He has also featured in European competition, with appearances in Europa League, Champions League and Conference League qualifiers, plus a Conference League goal. His current market value is around £425,000, according to Transfermarkt.

McEntee’s profile is straightforward: an established Hearts player, still in the developing stage of his career, with his senior record to date built largely in Edinburgh.
