John George McAtee (born 23 July 1999) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for League One club Barnsley, on loan from Premier League club Luton Town.

He has previously played for Shrewsbury Town where he began his career, taking in loan spells with Halesowen Town, AFC Telford United, Ashton United and Curzon Ashton. He joined Scunthorpe United in 2019 where he remained for two seasons before joining Grimsby Town in the summer of 2021. McAtee was pivotal in Grimsby's promotion back to the Football League in 2022, scoring several goals in their play-off campaign before signing for Luton during the summer.

Club career

Shrewsbury Town

McAtee made his first appearance for the Shrewsbury Town first-team ahead of his second year as a scholar, in a pre-season friendly away at Stourbridge in July 2016.[2] He made his English Football League debut as an 84th-minute substitute for Ryan Yates in a 2–0 loss at Oxford United on the final day of the 2016–17 season,[3] and subsequently signed a one-year professional contract, committing him to the club until summer 2018.[4][5]

McAtee joined Halesowen Town on an initial one-month youth loan on 30 September 2017.[6] This was later extended until Christmas 2017, with "Yeltz" manager John Hill eager to extend it further again,[7] however he returned to his parent club, before being loaned out to National League North club AFC Telford United in February 2018.[8]

On 4 August 2018, McAtee joined National League North side Ashton United on a one-month loan deal.[9] Afterwards, on 26 September, McAtee was loaned out again for the rest of the season, back to Telford.[10] However, on 21 December, he was loaned for a month to Curzon Ashton, again of the same league.[11] The deal was later extended for the rest of the season. He was released by Shrewsbury in May 2019.[12]

Scunthorpe United

On 8 July 2019, McAtee signed for League Two side Scunthorpe United.[13]

He scored his first league goal for the club on 18 January 2020, an equaliser in a 2–2 draw away at Bradford City.[14]

Grimsby Town

On 8 June 2021, McAtee turned down a new contract with Scunthorpe to join local rivals Grimsby Town on a two-year deal, reuniting him with manager Paul Hurst for a third time. it is understood that Grimsby would have to pay a compensation fee for the player. [15]

McAtee scored on his Mariners debut in a 1–0 win over Weymouth on 28 August 2021.[16] McAtee was awarded both the "Player of the Year" and the "Young Player of the Year" awards following on from his first season with Grimsby.[17]

McAtee scored Grimsby's first goal in a 5–4 away victory over Wrexham in the National League play off semi-final. [18] He also scored the first goal in the 2–1 victory over Solihull Moors in the 2022 National League play-off final to send Grimsby back to the Football League.[19]

Luton Town

On 2 August 2022, McAtee signed for EFL Championship club Luton Town for an undisclosed fee, returning to Grimsby Town on loan until the end of the 2022–23 season in order to continue his development.[20]

McAtee suffered a shoulder injury following the opening day of the season, initially dislocating it against Leyton Orient which would end up needing surgery.[21] On 1 November 2022, McAtee played his first football in months as he scored twice for Luton's development side in a 3–3 friendly with Stevenage.[22]

McAtee was part of the Grimsby team that reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and although being cup tied in the fourth round game against Luton, he would play in the 2–1 victory away at Premier League side Southampton and the eventual defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion.[23][24][25]

Following an injury with three games to go, manager Paul Hurst stated McAtee had played his final game for the club ahead of his move to Luton, stating "He's been great and we've been great for him. He's needed managing at times, and he'll accept that, but he's got great character. Myself and Chris have put a lot of trust, time, and effort into him going back to Shrewsbury and Scunthorpe as well as here because we believed in him. Last season, in particular, he repaid some of that faith and got a reward for an excellent season. I really hope that he can prove himself at Luton or certainly higher up than he has played currently because he has got the ability, he just has to show that dedication, work extremely hard, not take anything for granted and be disappointed when things aren't quite going his way."[26]

Following Luton's promotion to the Premier League, McAtee was named as a substitute for the clubs opening day defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion.[27]

On 25 August 2023, McAtee joined EFL League One club Barnsley on a season-long loan.[28] McAtee came off the bench to score on his debut in a 2–0 win away at Wigan Athletic.[29]
