Club career

Youth

McLoughlin began attending Bishop Blanchet High School in Seattle, Washington, in 2004, where he was named All-Area and team MVP as a freshman. Other early honors included being a Washington State ODP team member from 2003 to 2005.

He made the move to Bradenton, Florida, to attend the U-17 Residency program. He graduated in 2007 from Edison Academy.

He also helped his club team, Crossfire, to five state titles and a spot in the Region IV finals as well as an 8th place overall finish at the NIKE U-15 Club Championship in Hong Kong. [1] (he now owns a camp called McLoughlin Athletics and is an eastside coach.

Professional

After attending the University of Washington and playing soccer for one quarter, McLoughlin turned professional when he signed with the German club Hertha Berlin. He spent the next two seasons playing for the team's second squad, Hertha BSC II, making seven appearances for the club in total. [1]

McLoughlin went on trial with Major League Soccer team Seattle Sounders FC in the 2010 preseason [2] but did not make the team. In 2011, he successfully trialed with San Jose Earthquakes, and the club signed him on March 17, 2011. [3] He made his debut for the Earthquakes two days later in their first game of the 2011 MLS season, a 1–0 loss to Real Salt Lake, [4] and scored his first goal by opening the scoring on May 21, 2011, in a 2–1 victory over New England Revolution. [5]

McLoughlin was waived by San Jose on June 28, 2012. [6]

In 2014 Ellis was signed by professional indoor team Mahalo United costing him $150 every 10 weeks.

After leading the co-ed league & men's league divisions in goals for Spring, Fall, & Winter sessions from 2014 to 2017, McLoughlin caught the eye of the Tacoma Stars. In November 2017, Mahalo United loaned McLoughlin (for an undisclosed fee) to the Tacoma Stars for the 2017-2018 season. (And as many seasons as McLoughlin would like to play)

In April 2018 Ellis returned to the Menehunes in the Men's A Division
