Find out more about our new signing Jordan McGhee. 

Fact One

Jordan McGhee will be more than familiar with the local area, having lived here most of his life.

Fact Two

McGhee can cover a number of positions on the pitch and has often been used as a utility player. He can play right-back, centre-defender and centre-midfielder and has even featured on the left side of the defence and as a centre attacking midfielder. It was when he played as a centre-attacking midfielder that McGhee scored a brace.

Fact Three

Over the course of his 350+ first-team matches, McGhee has only scored one goal against Motherwell. That came in the 3-2 Motherwell win at Dens Park in April 2024, when Moses Ebiye scored a last-gasp winner.

Fact Four

Back in 2013, McGhee was a part of the Scotland Under 21 that took on the Netherlands. In his debut match at Under 21 level, and just 17 years old, he suffered a 4-0 defeat on the day; however, the opposition was filled with players who went on to have wonderful careers at the very top.

Former Ajax and Sevilla winger Quincy Promes started on the wing, and former PSV and Chelsea star Marco Van Ginkel played in the middle of the pitch with former Inter Milan striker Luc Castaignos leading the line. Also starring was former Manchester United, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid man Memphis Depay.

It wasn’t just the starting 11 who had big names. On the bench was current Manchester City defender Nathan Ake, who was an unused substitute.

We have two players away on international duty later this month.

We will take on Carlisle in a behind-closed-door friendly match prior to our first Premier Sports Cup match.

Defender Jordan McGhee is our latest summer recruit.

The former Dundee defender joins the club on a two-year deal, with the club holding the option of a further year.

McGhee joined the youth setup at Hearts in 2011 and worked his way through the ranks at the club. In 2013, he made his first-team debut against St Mirren at Tynecastle.

It didn’t take him long to get off the mark at first-team level, as McGhee scored in just his second appearance against Aberdeen in August 2013.

Interest in the defender was high, with McGhee receiving offers to move to England; however, he penned a new deal with the Jambos.

He moved on loan to Middlesborough in July 2016. After making 74 appearances for Hearts, he moved to Falkirk in the Championship in the summer of 2017. Over the next two seasons, he would accumulate over 70 appearances for the Bairns and would be named club captain.

Following Falkirk’s relegation in 2019, McGhee made the switch to Dundee. In his first season, he was voted Players’ Player of the Year, and at the end of the campaign, he would be named Club Captain for the second time in his career.

He scored three goals in Dundee’s Premiership playoff matches that played a huge part in the Dee’s return to the top flight. Over the course of the next four seasons, McGhee would be used as a utility player across the pitch. Despite Dundee being relegated again, he remained with the club and helped them back to the Premiership.

In his final season, he scored a brace against rivals Dundee United at Tannadice to help secure Dundee’s first win at Tannadice in over 20 years. In six seasons, he reached just shy of 200 appearances for Dundee, and now he joins the club for the 2025/26 season.

In other key details, the top is a buttoned collar, with white, claret and amber all present on collar and cuffs.

This year’s socks are mostly amber, with MFC displayed in new claret font on the back. The top of socks display similar details to that of the the collar and cuffs for consistency.

Working in partnership, Big Hearts Community Trust, Falkirk Foundation, Morton FC in the Community, Motherwell FC Community Trust and St Mirren Charitable Foundation are proud to demonstrate the extensive reach of the equalities work which has been tailored to children, young people and family requirements in each of our local communities.

Motherwell FC Community Trust has engaged with 71 young people offering opportunities for participation in football combined with wider life skills and integration.

Paul Wilson, Head of Operations at the Trust said: “The five clubs that have collaborated on this have each approached the theme from a different angle, yet all achieved the same outcome of providing more opportunities for young people to play football in a safe, welcoming setting.”

The UEFA Foundation for Children has once again selected T.E.A.M as one of 72 impactful projects to receive funding, Carine N’koué, General Secretary of the foundation, said:

Those projects use that incredible power to impact the lives of countless children around the world for a better life.”

We thank the UEFA Foundation for Children for their continued support, allowing us to provide a brighter future for young people in Scotland.
