Paul McGinn, a Scotsman who was brought into the world on 22 October 1990, now aged 34 as a rugged defender, is a central pillar for Motherwell football team. His physical attributes include a height of 5 feet 8 inches (1.75 metres) and a weight of 10 stone and 5 pounds (approximately 66 kilograms). He strides onto the pitch wearing the number 16 jersey.
McGinn's current market value is approximately £100k, as per the data supplied by Transfermarkt.
After stints with Queen's Park and St Mirren, which saw a steady if not spectacular increase in his contribution on the pitch, McGinn transferred from St Mirren to Dumbarton on loan in January 2013. His time at Dumbarton was decently productive, scoring two goals from the defender position in 14 appearances for the 2012 - 2013 season. He returned to Dumbarton for the following 2013 - 2014 season, this time making an impressive 35 first team appearances.
As his career continued to progress, McGinn kept suiting up for different sides. He switched to Dundee in the Premiership and put up healthy numbers, featuring heavily in the first team and even scoring in the process. He then went on to play for Chesterfield in England's League Two before moving back to Scotland to play for Partick Thistle in the Championship, where he featured regularly in the first team.
It wasn't until July 2018 that McGinn found himself back at St Mirren, where he spent two seasons, featuring regularly in the team and showing some goal scoring prowess. McGinn then moved on to play for Hibernian for a reported undisclosed fee. Making decent appearances and contributing with important goals, he appeared to have really found his stride at Hibs.
In July 2022, McGinn made the move to Motherwell, where he continues to ply his trade. Since then, his role within the squad has been significant - a reliable first team player with the ability to score. For the current 2025 - 2026 season at Motherwell, McGinn has already made six first team appearances in league matches. He even took part in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Motherwell, starting three times.
As he continues to represent the Motherwell side, football lovers and critics alike will be keeping a close eye on this stalwart defender's future contributions to the beautiful game.
