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.

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]

Rochdale

Scunthorpe United

On 4 January 2019, McGahey signed for Scunthorpe United for an undisclosed fee on a two-and-a-half-year deal. [10] He was one of 17 players released by Scunthorpe at the end of the 2020–21 season. [11]
