Career

Stoke City

Born in Milton Keynes,[3] and growing up in Leighton Buzzard,[4] McJannet began his career at Luton Town at under-9 level, being sold to Stoke City in August 2016.[5] At Stoke, he lived in the same apartment block as Harry Souttar.[6] He played on loan at Curzon Ashton.[4]

Derry City

After being released from Stoke, he signed for the Irish club Derry City in August 2020.[7] [8] He eventually made 142 appearances (including over 50 as captain), and scored twice in the 2022 FAI Cup final.[9] He said that the club not winning the 2023 League of Ireland title was a "missed opportunity".[10] In March 2024, he stated he did not want to leave the club,[11] [12] as he enjoyed the "banter" of being an Englishman in Ireland.[13]

Grimsby Town

He returned to England in June 2024, signing for Grimsby Town for a "substantial" transfer fee.[14] [15] McJannet made his first appearance for the club in Grimsby's first league match away to Fleetwood Town.[16]
