Jordan McGhee, born in Scotland on the 24th of July, 1996, is a well-established defender renowned for his play as a right back at Motherwell. Standing at 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 metres) tall and weighing 12 stone 3 pounds (78 kilograms), he is currently 29 years old and dons the number 6 jersey for Motherwell.
His journey in professional football took off in earnest when he joined Hearts, a team in the Scottish Premiership, as a trainee in July 2007. After making a solitary appearance during his debut season (2012-2013), he built on that foundation with 17, 18 and 22 appearances in the subsequent three seasons respectively, scoring a total of three goals. His performance at Hearts caught the eye of Middlesbrough, a Championship club in England, who brought him in on a loan deal in July 2016.
In August of 2017, after a year-long stint at Middlesbrough, McGhee secured a move back to Scotland, joining Falkirk in the Premiership at an undisclosed fee. His time at Falkirk was short-lived, with 17 appearances and two goals to his name. A defining chapter in his career would follow, as he moved to Dundee in the Premiership of Scotland in July 2019.
During his tenure at Dundee which spanned six years, McGhee upped his performances, tallying a total of 119 first team appearances and 13 goals in league matches. His exploits at Dundee caught the attention of Motherwell, another Scottish Premiership side, and he subsequently transferred in July 2025. However, in the current season (2025-2026), McGhee has yet to make an appearance for Motherwell.
According to Transfermarkt, McGhee is currently valued at around €350,000. Converting this to British pounds results in a rounded-off sum of £300,000. Given his track record and potential, it is interesting to speculate where McGhee's footballing journey will lead him next.
