Biography

Jordan McGee began his career at Hearts after progressing through their youth system, making his debut for the club as a late substitute in a 3-0 win over St Mirren aged just 16, in May 2013.

The following season, as Hearts’ financial troubles worsened and the club lurched towards administration, a number of young players, including Jordan, were promoted to the first team.

Jordan scored a late winner against Aberdeen in his second appearance for the club in August 2013, but could not prevent Hearts relegation to the Championship at the end of the season.

The defender helped Hearts bounce back at the first attempt, making 21 appearances as the Jam Tarts won the Championship in 2014/2015.

After spending the 2016/2017 season on loan to Middlesbrough’s development squad, Jordan signed for Falkirk for an undisclosed fee. Jordan established himself at centre back for the Bairns, making 79 appearances for the Bairns over the following two seasons and being named team captain in January 2019.

Following Falkirk’s relegation to League One, Jordan signed for Dundee in the summer of 2019.

Jordan turned in a number of consistent displays throughout the season, and also netted against Alloa Athletic and Queen of the South in September 2019.

Jordan made 30 appearances over the course of the season, undergoing surgery on a hand injury in February 2020. Jordan’s performances were recognised by his teammates who voted him the Players Player of the season.

In July 2020, Jordan was announced as the Dundee captain for the 2020/2021 season. In January, McGhee signed a two-year extension with the club but would unfortunately suffer a torn pectoral muscle.

Surprisingly, McGhee made a quicker recovery than anticipated, McGhee made his comeback in a 0-0 draw against Dunfermline in April and was a big part on the run the team went on as they managed to finished 2nd behind Hearts, before securing Dundee's Premiership return with a Play-Off victory over Kilmarnock.

Despite shinning in midfield in the Championship, McGhee couldn't produce the same level of performances, though the club struggled in most games, and eventually was used in the centre of defence more often. At the end of the season Dundee were relegated.

The following season, McGhee missed the start of the season through injury and there was even talk that he might be a transfer target for Motherwell, but the player would find himself back in the middle of midfield after he regained his fitness under new manager Gary Bowyer.

An injury in a 3-1 home over Raith Rovers in April would end McGhee's season earlier than anticipated but the club were able to carry on without him and win the Championship on the last day of the season.

McGhee would become the 'go to' player when the team were struggling with injuries or suspension. It speaks volumes of the player when he was trusted to fill in various positions across the defence and midfield.

A firm fan favourite, McGhee Futher adhered himself to the Dens Park faithful with two fantastic goals as Dundee took apart our city rivals 4-2 on their own patch on a pulsating game.

It had been strongly rumoured early in 2025 that McGhee was to depart the club at the end of the 2024/25 season with a move to Motherwell on the cards due to family reasons and that came to fruition when he was invited in the claret of the Steelmen.
