Career[]

Club[]

St Mirren[]

Born in Glasgow, Magennis attended Paisley Grammar School.[2] Magennis joined St Mirren's youth academy at the age of five[1] and remained there throughout his youth career until making his debut for the senior team against Hibernian in October 2016, aged 18, in the Scottish Championship.[1][3] He continued to appear for the club throughout the season, scoring his first goal for the club in a narrow win over Queen of the South.[4] Having impressed manager Jack Ross with his performances, he was offered a new contract with St Mirren in December 2016 which extended his contract with the club until summer 2019.[5]

Now established as a first team player in the Saints squad, Magennis signed a new contract committing him to the club until the summer of 2020,[6] and after clinching the 2017–18 Scottish Championship title, he further extended his contract with St Mirren to 2021.[7][8] He was in the side which secured their status in the Scottish Premiership via the relegation playoff in May 2019.[9]

Magennis and Saints suffered a major blow in January 2020, when he injured his knee during a 1–0 defeat to Rangers, ending his season after having appeared in every match of the campaign until suffering the injury.[10] In September 2020, St Mirren stated they had rejected a "substantial" offer for Magennis from Hibernian.[11] A few days later another offer from the same club was accepted.[12]

Hibernian[]

Magennis signed a five-year deal with Hibernian on 5 October 2020.[12][13]

On 1 August 2021, Magennis scored Hibernian’s opening Scottish Premiership goal for the 2021–22 season against Motherwell which ended in a 3–2 victory for Hibs.[14]

International[]

Having played for the under-20s at the 2017 Toulon Tournament,[15] Magennis made his debut for the Scotland under-21 team in a 2–1 win against the Netherlands in September 2018.[16]
