Paul McGinn has joined up with Scottish Premiership rivals Motherwell after departing Hibernian.
The 31-year-old versatile defender made 34 appearances last season at Easter Road, whilst also earning his first Scotland cap against Austria in September.
“We’re very happy that Paul has agreed to join us and add to our defensive options,” Motherwell manager Graham Alexander said.
“He has proven quality in the Premiership and his playing record is excellent since coming back to Scotland.
“I feel we’ve brought in a talented and motivated player, whose character and experience will be very important to us.”
McGinn started his career at Queen’s Park where he came through the youth ranks before making his first team debut in 2009. After impressing at the spiders, he earned a move to Premiership side St Mirren in 2012.
Once gaining valuable game time and experience on loan, he moved to Dundee in 2014 before making the move south of the border to Chesterfield in 2016.
McGinn returned to Scotland in 2017 where has since played for Partick Thistle, St Mirren and Hibernian.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
