Taking into account his experience on the field, and according to Transfermarkt, McGinn's market value sits around £85,000.
Returning to his early career in July 2008, McGinn kick-started his football journey at Queen's Park in Scotland's Championship. Over five seasons, he gradually solidified his presence in the team, with his number of appearances growing to peak at 34 in the 2011-2012 season, also netting 2 goals across the seasons.
In September 2012, he took a step up, signing for St Mirren in the top-tier Scottish Premiership. This was followed by brief loan spells back at Queen's Park and then with Dumbarton in Scotland's League Two. By July 2013, McGinn had permanently transferred to Dumbarton, notching up a solid 49 appearances, with two goals to his name over two seasons.
McGinn's career took another turn in July 2014, as he found himself switching allegiances to Dundee in the Premiership. There, he maintained consistency in his appearances, with 34 caps in every season and managing to find the back of the net once as well.
Lured south of the border in July 2016, he joined Chesterfield in England's League Two. His stint here was short-lived, with only 18 appearances and a single goal. By August 2017, he was back on Scottish soil, this time donning the colours of Partick Thistle in the Scottish Championship for the 2017-2018 season. After lighting up the field in 26 matches, McGinn returned to St Mirren in the Premiership in July 2018. His next two seasons saw him featured in a staggering 57 appearances and a commendable total of three goals.
January 2020 saw McGinn transferred to Hibernian, another side in the Scottish Premiership. Over the next three seasons, he continued to impress with his consistent performances, totting up a grand total of 70 appearances and scoring thrice.
