McCarty broke his left ankle on April 7, 2001 in a game against the Dallas Burn. His rehabilitation took four months. On January 17, 2002 the Columbus Crew SC used the fifth pick in that season's waiver draft to select McCarty.

He became a regular on the team before breaking his right ankle on March 25, 1998.
McCarty earned his only cap with the senior U.S. team in a September 8, 1999 tie with Jamaica.
