Jamie McGrath

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

Jamie McGrath, born on 30 September 1996 (age 29), is a Republic of Ireland attacking midfielder with Hibernian. A neat, central player rather than a headline act, he wears No 17 and is valued at around £1m by Transfermarkt.

His strongest league return came at St Mirren in 2020-2021, when he scored 10 goals in 35 appearances. That season remains the cleanest measure of his attacking contribution: productive, tidy and useful without requiring anyone to reach for the big words.

McGrath has a Scottish Cup win from a previous club spell, and in 2026-2027 he has made one Scottish Cup appearance for Hibernian. His career has been that of a solid professional attacking midfielder, with his best work coming when given regular minutes and a clear role.

With 2026-27 still in pre-season before Premiership fixtures, McGrath's useful Hibernian baseline remains 2025-26, when he scored eight goals. He has one Scottish Cup appearance attached to the new season, while that previous goal return points to a central attacking midfielder used for direct end product rather than just link play.
