Cameron Allan McJannet (born 6 September 1998) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League Two club Grimsby Town.[3]
Career
[edit]Stoke City
[edit]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
[edit]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
[edit]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]
