Kyle Martin Magennis (born 26 August 1998) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Scottish Premiership club Kilmarnock.[3] He has previously played for St Mirren and Hibernian, and also represented Scotland at under-17 and under-21 level.
Club career
[edit]St Mirren
[edit]Born in Glasgow, Magennis attended Paisley Grammar School.[4] Magennis joined St Mirren's youth academy at the age of five[3] 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.[3][5] 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.[6] 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.[7]
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,[8] and after clinching the 2017–18 Scottish Championship title, he further extended his contract with St Mirren to 2021.[9][10] He was in the side which secured their status in the Scottish Premiership via the relegation playoff in May 2019.[11]
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.[12] In September 2020, St Mirren stated they had rejected a "substantial" offer for Magennis from Hibernian.[13] A few days later another offer from the same club was accepted.[14]
Hibernian
[edit]Magennis signed a five-year deal with Hibernian on 5 October 2020.[14][15]
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.[16] Magennis had a good start to the 2021–22 season, but then missed most of it due to groin and knee injuries.[17]
After he suffered from more injury problems during the 2022–23 season, Magennis was allowed to leave Hibs in June 2023.[18]
Kilmarnock
[edit]Following his release by Hibs, Magennis signed a two-year contract with Kilmarnock on 21 June 2023.[18]
International career
[edit]Magennis was selected for the Scotland under-20 squad in the 2017 Toulon Tournament,[19] in which they won the bronze medal.[20] It was the nation's first ever medal at the competition.[2][21] He then played for the Scotland under-21 team, making his debut in a 2–1 win against the Netherlands in September 2018.[22]
