Jordan McGhee (born 24 July 1996, age 30) is a Scottish defender whose career is tied most clearly to Dundee. Primarily a right-back, he built the bulk of his senior reputation there, making 119 league appearances and scoring 13 times across four seasons.
Dundee was where his game settled properly. He became an important first-team player rather than a squad figure passing through, and his best league return came in 2023-24 when he scored five goals in 33 appearances. For a defender, that is useful production without needing dressed up any further.
He later moved to Motherwell, where he has worn the number 6 shirt. His involvement there has been limited so far, with one Scottish Cup appearance in 2026-27, and his form this season has been solid when used. He has been out of the matchday squad recently, with his last appearance coming in Motherwell’s 3-2 win over Rangers on 26 April 2026.
McGhee’s career has largely been built on steady work in the Scottish game, with Dundee the spell that gave it its shape. His current market value is around £170,000, according to Transfermarkt.
