Graeme Shinnie, born on 4 August 1991 in Scotland, is a prolific midfielder currently playing as a central defensive midfielder for Aberdeen. Standing at 5ft 8in (1.75m) tall and weighing 11st 4lb (72kg), he is a dominant presence on the field, consistently seen donning the number 4 jersey.
As per Transfermarkt, Shinnie's current market value is approximately £170k.
Shinnie embarked on his professional football journey in July 2008, when he joined Inverness CT in the Scottish League One as a trainee. He gradually worked his way into the first team and showed consistent performance with each passing season, eventually wearing the club's colours in over 150 league matches before moving to Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership in July 2015.
At Aberdeen, Shinnie continued to impress with his composure on the pitch. Over the successive seasons, he amassed more than 200 appearances and took his goal tally into double figures. He transferred to Derby County in the English Championship in July 2019, contributing his defensive prowess to 85 matches and scoring six goals over three seasons.
Shinnie started 2022 with a transfer to Wigan Athletic, playing 19 league matches in half a season. In a surprising turn of events in January 2023, he was loaned back to Aberdeen, where he found his previous form, playing in over 140 league matches and netting seven goals in his second stint at the club from 2023 onwards.
In addition to his league commitments, Shinnie was a frequent fixture in the 2025 - 2026 season's League Cup, Scottish Cup, Europa League Qualifiers and Conference League for Aberdeen, demonstrating his versatility and commitment across multiple competitions.
