Jack MacKenzie is no doubt a footballer ingrained deeply in the annals of Scottish football – a spirited defender borne of the highlands. Born on 4th July 2000, he stands a commanding 6 foot 3 inches (1.91m) in height and weighs around 11 stone (70kg). A classic number 3 for Aberdeen football club, this lad has put down some solid roots in his homeland as a sheer left back. Adding to his growing accolades, he also represents the Scottish national team, entrenching Scotland deeply within his heart.
MacKenzie's journey as a professional footballer began in the summer of 2016, when he signed for Aberdeen as a trainee. A significant stepping stone in his footballing career, he slaughtered any doubts about his ability with a series of impressive performances. Due to his promising start with the Dons, MacKenzie was loaned out to Forfar Athletic in the League Two in October 2020 then he made his return to the Premiership side in January 2021. Seemingly unscarred by the rigours of playing in the lower leagues, he has made excellent progress in his career thus far.
Upon his return, he seamlessly reinstated his place in the Dons side, clocking up 20 league appearances and a goal to his name in the 2021/2022 season. His appearances then followed with a total of 18 matches in the 2022/2023 season, and 27 matches with one goal in the 2023/2024 season. The 2024/2025 season saw him kick-starting his campaign with already seven matches under his belt, as he continues to mold his Aberdeen legacy.
His performance is held at high regard, with his estimated market value being around £340k (€400k), according to Transfermarkt, with 8 months left on his current contract, set to expire on 31st May 2025.
Aside from league matches, MacKenzie also made his presence felt in cup competitions. In the League Cup 2024/2025, he notched up an impressive tally of one goal from six starts. The Scottish Cup 2023/2024 and the Conference League 2023/2024 also saw his starting four times, clearly indicating his status as a key fixture in the Aberdeen starting lineup.
In short, Jack MacKenzie is a steadfast and relentless Scottish footballer, the type yet so familiar and yet so indispensable in the heart of Aberdeen's defence. As the lad continues to shore up the backline whilst also representing the Scottish national team, it is abundantly clear that Scotland truly is Jack MacKenzie's domain.
