Born in Ellesmere Port, McCready was an Everton youth graduate before joining Hibernian on 12 July 2009. [3]
He moved to Conference Premier side Altrincham on 5 August of the following year without making an appearance for Hibs. [4]
After appearing in only two matches for the Robins, McCready moved to Chester, but suffered an injury shortly after. [5]
He was later loaned to Welsh Premier League side Airbus where he scored 2 goals in 5 appearances. [6]
After being released by Chester, McCready moved to the United States and accepted a scholarship from Limestone College. [7]
In 2014, he went on a trial at his older brother Chris' club, Morecambe, where he played for the reserves.
