Youth
Born in Ellesmere Port, McCready was an Everton youth graduate before joining Hibernian on 12 July 2009.[3]
Altrincham
He moved to Conference Premier side Altrincham on 5 August of the following year without making an appearance for Hibs.[4]
Chester
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]
Limestone College
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.

On 2 February 2015, McCready joined Exeter City on a free transfer from Morecambe. He scored his first goal for the club in a League Cup tie against Sunderland.[11] He made very few appearances for City and was released at the end of the 2016–17 season, with manager Paul Tisdale commenting that McCready "sadly had a wretched year with injury".[12]
