Paul McGinn, born on 22 October 1990, is a seasoned defender who primarily dons the central jersey for Motherwell. This robust Scot, standing at a height of 5ft 8in (1.75m) and sporting a weight of 10st 5lb (66kg), has proudly sported the number 16 jersey in his flourishing football career.
With his market value hovering around £90k according to transfermarkt, McGinn's journey in football saw its inception at Queen's Park, a club in the Championship in Scotland. After a cautious debut in 2008 - 2009, McGinn demonstrated a steady rise both in appearances and personal form, gradually evolving his game.
A major shift transpired in September 2012 as McGinn transferred from Queen's Park to St. Mirren situated in the Scottish Premiership. He continued to show his prowess and determination on the field, earning accolades throughout his two seasons.
During the course of these seasons, an unexpected opportunity presented as McGinn was loaned back to Queen's Park. His performance remained consistently skilful, proving his mettle in both clubs.
In the wake of 2013, McGinn was transferred from St. Mirren to Dumbarton in the League Two. Despite loaning experience, McGinn upped his game making 35 appearances and even scoring twice during his tenure.
Coming July 2013, Paul McGinn transferred from St Mirren to Dumbarton in the League Two. Just after a year, in July 2014, he found himself switching affiliations to Dundee in the Premiership.
After a successful two years at Dundee, McGinn was on the move again in 2016, being transferred from Dundee to Chesterfield in the League Two in England. His journey continued even further north as he switched from Chesterfield to Partick Thistle in the Scottish Championship in August 2017.
Then came another shift in July 2018, where McGinn was again seen switching sides, this time from Partick Thistle to St Mirren in the Premiership in Scotland. Showing noticeable form on the field, this gave him another chance for a significant move, this time to Hibernian in the Premiership in Scotland for an undisclosed fee in January 2020.
In recent years, McGinn has continued his journey, moving from Hibernian to his current club, Motherwell, in July 2022. Throughout his transfer saga, McGinn has remained a constant on the pitch, delivering match after match with consistent appearances and remarkable performances.
Justifying his years of experience, McGinn has shown more tenacious form in Motherwell so far - ensuring his place in the starting lineup for both the League Cup 2025 - 2026 and the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026.
