Graeme Shinnie (born 4 August 1991) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays for Aberdeen, as a left back. He has previously played for Inverness Caledonian Thistle and during his time there had a loan spell at Forres Mechanics.

Career

Early career

Shinnie started his career playing for a boy's club in Aberdeen, alongside brother Andrew.[1]

Inverness Caledonian Thistle

He joined Inverness Caledonian Thistle in July 2009, at the age of 17.[2] He made his senior debut for them in the Scottish League Cup on 1 August 2009, before making his League debut on 26 September 2009.[3]

Shinnie went on loan to Forres Mechanics in the Scottish Highland Football League in February 2010.[2][4] His loan spell with Forres Mechanics was extended until the end of the season.[5]

Shinnie was offered a contract extension by Inverness on 30 November 2010,[6] agreeing a 3-year deal on 13 December 2010.[7] Shinnie suffered an intestinal problem that stopped him from playing between January and August 2011.[8]

In the 2011–12 season, Graeme's brother, Andrew joined Inverness on a free transfer from Rangers.[9] Shinnie scored his first goal of his Inverness career on 27 August 2011 in a 2–1 win over Kilmarnock and after the match, manager Terry Butcher expressed delighted for Shinnie on his first goal.[10] Following a 3–1 loss against Dundee United on 17 September 2011, captain Richie Foran spoken out about Shinnie, stating he was worthy of pass marks.[11] After two-months spell out for the side, Shinnie made his return in a 2–1 loss against Rangers on 17 December 2011. Despite the performance, Butcher would praise the returning of Shinnie and Lee Cox.[12]

In December 2012, Shinnie signed a new contract extension, keeping him until 2015,[13] having vowed to remain at the club.[14]

In the final of the Scottish League Cup, Shinnie played throughout the match until it went to a penalty shoot-out, in which Aberdeen won the Scottish League Cup.[15]

In April 2014 he was selected to the 2013–14 Premiership PFA Scotland Team of the Year.[16]

In April 2015, Shinnie helped Inverness to reach the 2015 Scottish Cup Final.[17] Inverness went on to win the trophy, beating Falkirk 2–1 on 30 May 2015, with Shinnie lifting the trophy as captain in his last game for the club.[18][19]

Aberdeen

In January 2015 it was announced that Shinnie had signed a three-year contract with Aberdeen, despite interest from Football League Championship clubs, and would join the club when the summer transfer window opened in June 2015.[20] He made his competitive debut for Aberdeen on 2 July 2015, against FK Shkëndija in the first qualifying round of the Europa League.[21] He scored his first goal for Aberdeen on 9 August 2015, in a 2–0 win against Kilmarnock in a Scottish Premiership league game.[22]

International career

Shinnie made his debut for the Scotland national under-21 football team in April 2012.[23] On 29 September 2015 Shinnie was called up to the senior squad by Gordon Strachan for games against Poland and Gibraltar.[24]

Personal life

Shinnie is the younger brother of fellow footballer Andrew Shinnie, who joined him at Inverness in 2011.[8]
