Club career
Heart of Midlothian
McGhee signed for
In January 2015, McGhee signed a contract with Hearts that was due to run until the end of the 2016–17 season.[14] Ipswich Town made two offers of around £250,000 for McGhee in August 2015, but these were both rejected by Hearts.[15]
In January 2016 McGhee almost moved to Middlesbrough on loan but the move collapsed after paperwork failed to be completed in time.[16] In July 2016, Middlesbrough returned to sign McGhee on a season-long loan to play in the club's development team.[17][18]
Falkirk
McGhee moved to
Dundee
2019–20 season
In June 2019, McGhee signed a two-year deal with Dundee, who had been relegated to the Championship the previous season.[21] McGhee became a key figure for the Dark Blues, impressing in a variety of different positions, scoring two important goals in consecutive games, and playing in every game until getting surgery on his hand in February 2020, which sidelined him for a couple of weeks.[22] McGhee would be voted by his teammates as Dundee's Player's Player of the Year at the end of the season.[23] At the beginning of July, McGhee would be announced as team captain.[24]
2020–21 season
In his second season with Dundee, McGhee would be employed further up the pitch as a
2021–22 season
During the 2021–22 season, McGhee would require minor surgery to fix a persistent knee issue, which would sideline him for several weeks.[30][31] Throughout the season he would return to his usual centre back role under McPake and Mark McGhee, and play his most games for the club in a single season yet, though this would not be enough to avoid relegation and a return to the Championship.[32]
2022–23 season
McGhee would miss the start of the 2022–23 season with an Achilles injury.[33][34] He would make his first appearance of the season on 20 August 2022, coming off the bench away to Greenock Morton.[35] During the season he would once again be used largely as a midfielder by new manager Gary Bowyer.[36] McGhee would mark his 100th appearance for Dundee with a clean sheet in an away victory over Hamilton Academical.[37] McGhee would have a successful season in midfield, but after an injury late in a win against Raith Rovers in April 2023, McGhee would be out for the rest of the season with knee ligament damage.[38] McGhee would lift silverware at the end of the season as Dundee would win the Scottish Championship title on the last day away to Queens Park.[39]
2023–24 season
On 10 June 2023, Dundee announced that McGhee had signed a new two-year deal with the club, keeping him there until the summer of 2025.
International career
McGhee earned caps at under-15, under-16 and under-18 level before earning a call up to the Scotland under-21 squad aged just 17 after some impressive performances for Hearts.
After establishing himself as a regular at centre back alongside Stuart Findlay, he captained the Scotland under-21 side for the first time in a friendly against Switzerland on 18 November 2014 which ended in a 1–1 draw.[45]
