Career

Stoke City

Born in Milton Keynes, [4] and growing up in Leighton Buzzard, [5] McJannet began his career at Luton Town at under-9 level, being sold to Stoke City in August 2016. [6] At Stoke, he lived in the same apartment block as Harry Souttar. [7] He played on loan at Curzon Ashton. [5]

Derry City

After being released from Stoke, he signed for the Irish club Derry City in August 2020. [8] [9] He eventually made 142 appearances (including over 50 as captain), and scored twice in the 2022 FAI Cup final. [10] He said that the club not winning the 2023 League of Ireland title was a "missed opportunity". [11] In March 2024, he stated he did not want to leave the club, [12] [13] as he enjoyed the "banter" of being an Englishman in Ireland. [14]

Grimsby Town

He returned to England in June 2024, signing for Grimsby Town for a "substantial" transfer fee. [15] [16] McJannet made his first appearance for the club in Grimsby's first league match away to Fleetwood Town. [17]
