Career

societies

Magennis played in his youth as a goalkeeper for various clubs before he decided to play as a striker in 2008 . In 2009 he received his first professional contract with the Welsh club Cardiff City , which played in the English second division . But he was awarded after seven games to the fourth lists Grimsby Town , where he came to two inserts. After returning to Cardiff, he played two more games for the Welsh. For the 2010/11 season he moved to the Scottish first division club FC Aberdeen , where he scored ten goals in four seasons in 105 league games, but sometimes also played as a right defender. With the club he always fought against relegation, which could always be avoided. In the Scottish FA Cup 2010/11 he reached the semi-finals with Aberdeen, where they lost 4-0 against eventual winners Celtic Glasgow in their home stadium. A year later they lost the cup semi-finals again in their own stadium against Hibernian Edinburgh with 1: 2. In the last season he was for the rest of the season in the Premier League rivals in January 2014 St. Mirren FC on loan. There he scored no goal in 13 games, the club finished the season in eighth place.

For the 2014/2015 season he then moved to league rivals FC Kilmarnock . With the new club he was able to narrowly avoid the relegation playoffs in the first season as third from bottom, in the second season they then had to go into relegation, but sat there in the last round against FC Falkirk from the 2nd division without his involvement, so that they remain first class in 2016/17. After two seasons in Kilmarnock, Magennis moved to English third division club Charlton Athletic in August 2016 . After the team failed in the promotion play-offs at Shrewsbury Town in the 2017/18 season , he moved to the second division side Bolton Wanderers . With the club, however, he was relegated at the end of the season , whereupon he moved to Hull City and can continue to play in the second division .

Northern Ireland national team

Magennis played in the Northern Irish U-17 team as a goalkeeper, from the U-19 onwards as a striker. With the U-21 team, he took part in qualifying for the U-21 European Championship in 2011 and scored two goals in six games, both in the 2-6 defeat against Iceland. As fourth in the group, the Northern Irish were eliminated as did defending champion Germany , who u. a. in the game against Northern Ireland Mario Götze called up . During the ongoing qualification, he was substituted on May 26, 2010 in the friendly against Turkey in the 61st minute at the age of 19 for his first international match for the Northern Irish national team . He was substituted on four days later in the friendly against Chile , but then had to wait almost six months before his next brief assignment. This was followed by a 26-month break in which he played seven times for the U-21s in the again unsuccessful qualification for the U-21 European Championship 2013 , until his next four-minute assignment. This was followed by a substitution for 17 minutes in the next game, but the next seven games then took place again without his active participation, he only sat on the bench three times. From May 2014 he was invited to all international matches and was also regularly substituted. However, he has only had two starting eleven appearances: on March 25, 2015 against Scotland and on October 8, 2015 in a 3-1 win against Greece , where he scored the interim 2-0 with his first international goal. In both cases, however, he did not see the end of the game on the pitch.

On May 18, 2016, he was appointed by team manager Michael O'Neill to the provisional squad with 28 players for the European Championship finals. He was then also nominated for the final EM squad. He made his European Championship debut in the second game against Ukraine when he came on as a substitute in the final minutes. He then came on as a substitute against Germany and after reaching the round of 16 against Wales. The game ended 0-1 against Wales and the team was eliminated.

In the qualification for the 2018 World Cup , which began after the EM , he was part of the team and was used in nine of the ten group games. As second in the group behind world champions Germany, the Northern Irish reached the play-offs of the best runners-up in the group. Here he was used in the two games against Switzerland . The Northern Irish lost their home game 1-0 and only achieved a goalless draw in Switzerland. In the 2018/19 UEFA Nations League , he was only used in the two away defeats against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Austria . Since the Northern Irish also lost both home games, it was only enough for third and last place. In the qualification for the European Football Championship 2020 he was used in all eight games and played his 50th international match in the last game in the 1: 6 defeat against Germany. As third in the group, the Northern Irish missed direct qualification, but still have the chance to qualify via the playoffs in March 2020.
