Blackpool

edit

McGahey joined Blackpool aged 14 after spells in the youth teams of Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool.[3] After helping the Blackpool youth side win the junior league title, McGahey signed a professional contract with the club.[3] He then made his professional league début for Blackpool on 18 April 2014 in a 1–0 home defeat against Burnley.[4] McGahey's deal was only a short-term one and after three first-team appearances he elected not to renew terms with the club.

Sheffield United

On 4 January 2019, McGahey signed for Scunthorpe United for an undisclosed fee on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[10] He was one of 17 players released by Scunthorpe at the end of the 2020–21 season.[11]
