Club career

Falkirk

[edit]

Born in Falkirk, McGrandles is a product of the Falkirk youth academy, moving into the first team at the start of the 2012–13 season.[3] He made his first team début on 29 September 2012, against Cowdenbeath at Central Park,[4] five days after his 17th birthday. His first senior goal came seven weeks later, against Livingston at Almondvale in the 84th minute.[5]

Norwich City

McGrandles was transferred to Norwich City in August 2014.[6] In January 2016, McGrandles returned to Falkirk on loan until the end of the season.[7] On 20 February 2016, McGrandles was stretchered off during Falkirk's 1–0 win at Greenock Morton after suffering a double break in his right leg.[8]

Milton Keynes Dons

McGrandles signed a two-year contract with Milton Keynes Dons in May 2017.[9] On 4 August 2018, during the opening league game of the season away to Oldham Athletic, McGrandles sustained a serious facial fracture[10] resulting in a three-month absence. He made his return to the first team on 13 November 2018, starting in an EFL Trophy group fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion U21s.[11] McGrandles scored his first goal for the club on 16 February 2019, the opening goal in a 3–2 away win over Carlisle United.[12]
