Career
McLaughlin started his career with Hearts, but was loaned to Berwick Rangers for the first half of the 2006–07 season in order to gain more competitive experience. He rejected the chance to extend this loan in January, instead opting to move to Raith Rovers on loan, where former coach at Hearts John McGlynn had recently been appointed manager.[5] He joined Gimnástica on a 6-month loan deal in August 2007.[6]
After being released by Hearts in the summer of 2009, McLaughlin signed for Second Division side Dumbarton on 30 August but moved on to Albion Rovers in February 2010. He was released at the end of the 2009-10 season and currently plays for Muirton AFC.
