Career

Club

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]

International

Having played for the under-20s at the 2017 Toulon Tournament,[11] Magennis made his debut for the Scotland under-21 team in a 2–1 win against the Netherlands in September 2018.[12]
