From Perth, McInnes attended Trinity College before being drafted by West Coast with the twenty-eighth pick in the 2011 national draft.

He has kicked multiple goals in a game only once – two goals in a loss to North Melbourne, after which he was dropped to make way for Jack Darling's return from injury. [3]

After playing only two matches during the 2016 season, McInnes was delisted in October, [4] however, he was re-drafted by West Coast in the 2017 rookie draft. [5] He was made captain of the inaugural West Coast Eagles' reserves team in the 2019 WAFL season. [6]
