Born on the 20th of June, 1997, Scottish defender Jamie McCart is currently lending his services as a central defender to Hearts in Scotland's Premiership. Standing at 6ft 1in (1.86m) and weighing in at 13st (83kg), McCart sports the number 5 jersey.
McCart began his career as a trainee with Celtic in Scotland's Premiership in July 2014. He spent over two seasons at Celtic, a time during which his growth as a player became discernible. However, he did not secure regular first-team football during his time at the club.
In a significant move in January 2017, McCart was loaned to Inverness CT in League One Scotland where he made 11 first-team appearances in league matches in his debut season.
Subsequently, McCart was loaned to St Mirren in the Premiership, Scotland in September 2017. He made a relatively small number of appearances, with his count in the 2017 - 2018 season standing at three first team appearances in league matches.
January 2018 saw McCart going on another loan spell, this time to Alloa Athletic in League One, Scotland. By July of the same year, he transferred permanently from Celtic to Inverness CT, repeating his impressive debut performance with 11 first team appearances in league matches.
In a significant move, McCart transferred from Inverness CT to St Johnstone in the Championship in Scotland for an undisclosed fee in January 2020. During the 2019 - 2020 season, McCart played eight league games. Gradually, he established himself as a mainstay in the team, making 37 first team appearances in both the 2020 - 2021 and 2021 - 2022 seasons, even netting a goal in the latter season.
In July 2022, McCart made a lateral move, transferring to Rotherham United in League One in England. Whilst his appearances were limited during the 2022 - 2023 and 2023 - 2024 seasons, McCart added depth to the squad.
January 2023 saw McCart moving to Leyton Orient in League One England on a loan agreement. This stint was followed by a return to Rotherham United later in June of that year. However, McCart was loaned out again in August 2023, this time to Barnsley in League One England, returning to Rotherham United one more time in June 2024.
In a significant move in January 2025, McCart transferred from Rotherham United in England to Hearts in the Premiership in Scotland for an undisclosed fee. Thus far in his tenure with Hearts, McCart has made 11 first team appearances and scored one goal during the 2024 - 2025 season, and eight first team appearances in the ongoing 2025 - 2026 season.
During the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026, McCart was given a chance to shine for Hearts with a start under his belt.
