[5] He made his league debut for OB on 3 March 2025, coming on as a substitute in OB's 1–1 draw against Hobro IK in a Danish 1st Division match. [6]
With 11 leasgue appearances during the 2024–25 season, McCoy was part of the OB squad that secured promotion back to the 2025–26 Danish Superliga. [7] During the 2025–26 season, McCoy established himself as a regular member of the OB first-team squad, which led to him signing a new contract with the club in January 2026, extending his deal until June 2030.

At international level, McCoy has represented Denmark at youth levels, appearing for the under-18 and under-19 teams. [9]
McCoy, who has represented Denmark at youth international levels, has also discussed his eligibility to play for the United States through his American father.
