Career

Blackpool

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

McGahey signed a two-year contract, with an option for a third, for Sheffield United for an undisclosed fee on 18 July 2014. Despite McGahey being out of contract, his age meant that Blackpool were due a fee and as such the two clubs agreed a compensation package.[5]

McGahey joined Tranmere Rovers on loan until the end of the 2014–15 season on 13 February 2015.[6] He was recalled one month later.[7]

Rochdale

On 16 June 2016 McGahey joined Rochdale on a two-year deal.[8]

He was offered a new contract by Rochdale at the end of the 2017–18 season.[9]

Scunthorpe United

On 4 January 2019, McGahey signed for Scunthorpe United for an undisclosed fee on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[10]
