Socceroos Player Profile – Riley McGree

08/05/2026|SB Staff|Socceroos

Riley Patrick McGree, born on November 2, 1998, in Gawler, South Australia, is a versatile attacking midfielder who plays for Middlesbrough in the EFL Championship and represents the Australian national soccer team.

Known for his creativity, technical skills, and goal-scoring ability, McGree has had a dynamic career spanning multiple leagues.

He began his professional journey with Adelaide United before moving to Club Brugge in Belgium.

After loan spells with Newcastle Jets and Melbourne City, McGree returned to Adelaide United, where he excelled. His career then took him to Charlotte FC in the MLS, followed by a loan to Birmingham City, and eventually a permanent move to Middlesbrough in 2022.

This year, McGree has been an integral part of Boro’s promotion push and could very well find himself playing Premier League football next season, one way or another.

Internationally, McGree has been a key player for Australia, featuring in the 2022 FIFA World Cup and famously setting up Mathew Leckie for the goal that sent the Socceroos into the Round of 16 for just the second time ever.
