Career

Born in Chertsey, [2] McAvoy began his career in the youth setup at Staines Town; whom he represented from the age of 4 until 8, [5] before he joined Fulham in summer of 2010. [3] In July 2018, he signed a two-year scholarship contract at Craven Cottage, [3] and after impressing in the youth setup, he signed his first professional contract in July 2019, barely a year after penning his scholarship deal. [6]

On 1 October 2019, McAvoy played the full 90 minutes in the EFL Trophy Group Stage for the U21's during a 1-0 away defeat Milton Keynes Dons. [7] That would be his only appearance during that year's EFL Trophy campaign; his next three appearance would come in the following campaign, as he played against Cambridge United, [8] Peterborough United [9] and Burton Albion respectively. [10]

In October 2021, McAvoy was loaned out to National League side Wealdstone for a month, [11] after impressing during the first month of the deal; the loan was extended until January 2022, [12] then until the end of the campaign on 10 January 2022. [13]

On 31 January 2023, McAvoy joined Scottish Championship side Partick Thistle on loan until the end of the season, [14] but after making six appearances for The Jags, he ruptured his medial ligament against Greenock Morton on 11 March [15] and returned to parent club, Fulham five days later. [16]

On 14 September 2023, whilst still recovering from injury, McAvoy signed a new deal with The Cottagers until at least the summer of 2025, with an option of a further year. [17] He returned from the injury in December 2023, but this was after McAvoy had suffered numerous set backs in his recovery; which included three surgeries after the screws came loose in his knee. [18]

On 30 August 2024, McAvoy returned to Scotland as he was loaned to Championship side, Ayr United until the end of the season. [4]

International career

McAvoy qualifies for Scotland through his father, Gordon; who was born in Paisley. [18] He has represented the country at Scotland under-17, Scotland under-18, Scotland under-19 and Scotland under-21 levels. [19]
