Jordan McGhee

Jordan McGhee is a Scottish right-back, born on 24 July 1996 (age 30), now with Motherwell. He wears No 6 and is valued at around £170,000 by Transfermarkt.

His career is shaped most clearly by his spell at Dundee. Across four league seasons there, McGhee made 119 league appearances and scored 13 league goals, a sizeable body of work rather than a passing stop. His most productive campaign came in 2023-2024, when he scored five times in 33 league appearances.

Motherwell is the next stage of the career rather than the main story so far. In 2026-2027, McGhee has made one Scottish Cup appearance for the club.

McGhee’s profile is straightforward: a Scottish defender whose strongest and most sustained first-team period came at Dundee, with Motherwell now providing the latest chapter.
