Our protagonist on the pitch, Oisin McEntee, first saw the light of day on 5 January 2001. Birthed across the pond in the USA, McEntee is now aged 24 and graces the field as a midfielder. However, his prowess truly shines when he is placed in the central defensive midfielder position for his current club, Hearts. The chap towers over many, measuring a mighty 6ft 2in (1.9m) tall with a healthy weight of 12st 3lb (78kg). For those fixating on the numbers, you'll find him sporting the number 31 jersey.
Now let's talk brass tacks. The lad's market value. According to Transfermarkt, McEntee is valued around the £170k mark.
Tracing the lad's footprints back to his footballing infancy, July 2017 was a significant milestone. McEntee joined Newcastle United in the English Premier League as a trainee, a grand start for the young lad. A few seasons down the line in August 2021, a transfer saw our man move from Newcastle United to Greenock Morton in the Scottish Championship, albeit on a loan stint.
In July of the following year, another change of scenery was on the cards. McEntee transferred from Newcastle United to Walsall in England's League Two. His debut 2022 - 2023 season at Walsall witnessed the lad grace the field in three first team league matches.
The chapter of July 2025 ushered in a new era. A transfer from Walsall in the League Two to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership catapulted McEntee back onto Scottish soil. His current season at Hearts (2025 - 2026) has seen him partake in ten first team league matches.
Not to be limited to league matches, McEntee also had a crack at the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Hearts. Displaying his goal scoring ability, the lad managed to find the back of the net once in three starts while also making an additional appearance as a substitute.
