Jamie McGrath

Jamie McGrath of Hibernian was born in Athboy, Rep. Ireland on 30 September 1996 (age 29).

Jamie McGrath, born 30 September 1996 (age 29), is a Republic of Ireland attacking midfielder with Hibernian, where he wears the number 17. His current market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came at St Mirren in 2020-21, when he scored 10 goals in 35 appearances. That was the spell which gave his game a bit more substance: not just neat midfield work, but enough end product to matter.

McGrath’s career has also brought a Scottish Cup win away from Hibernian. At Easter Road in 2026-27, he has made six appearances across all competitions, including four in the league and one each in the League Cup and Scottish Cup.

His career to this point has been that of an established Premiership midfielder: useful between the lines, experienced in Scottish football, and now part of Hibernian’s senior group.
