Jamie McGrath, born on 30 September 1996 (age 29), is a Republic of Ireland attacking midfielder with Hibernian. At 5ft 9in (1.76m) and 11st 3lb (71kg), he is not built to dominate a match physically, but his better work has usually come between the lines, where timing and use of the ball matter more than size.
McGrath first made his name in Ireland before moving into Scottish football, where his most productive league campaign came with St Mirren in 2020–21. He scored 10 goals in 35 league appearances that season, a return which made him more than just a tidy midfield presence.
After spells with Wigan Athletic, Dundee United and Aberdeen, McGrath moved on to Hibernian, where he wears squad number 17. He remained a regular first-team player in 2025–26, making 32 league appearances and scoring eight league goals.
His current market value is around £1m, according to Transfermarkt. McGrath’s career has been a steady one: from Ireland to Scotland, with enough goals from midfield to keep him relevant in the Premiership.
