Kyle Magennis, born on the 26th of August 1998, is a Scottish footballer in his late twenties who generally fills the role of a central midfielder for Kilmarnock. He was born in Scotland and stands at around 5ft 11in (1.81m) while weighing in at approximately 12st 8lbs (80kg). He can usually be seen on the pitch in the number 16 jersey.
Magennis's career began in earnest in July 2016, when he joined the ranks of St Mirren, in the Scottish Premiership, as a trainee. His inaugural season of 2016 - 2017 saw him make an impressive 25 first team appearances in league matches, during which he also scored 3 goals. His next three seasons at St Mirren would see him play consistently, making appearances in 14, 14, and 22 matches across the seasons respectively and scoring a total of 3 goals.
October 2020 marked a significant point in his career when he transferred from St Mirren to Hibernian, another Scottish Premiership team. The exact fee incurred for his transfer, however, remains undisclosed. His three seasons at Hibernian were marked by a steady performance, making an overall tally of 34 first team appearances in league matches and scoring a total of 5 goals.
In July 2023, he announced his move from Hibernian to Kilmarnock in the Premiership, again for an undisclosed amount. While at Kilmarnock, Kyle has made 21 first team appearances across 3 seasons and counting, yet he has not managed to add to his overall goal tally. In the current season of 2025 - 2026, he has so far made one first team appearance.
Kyle also participated in the 2025 - 2026 League Cup for Kilmarnock, making two starts and four appearances as a substitute. Though his stint at Celtic was never realised, he has indeed made a name for himself in Scottish football circles, owing to his consistent performances across several Premiership teams.
