Early life
McIntyre was born in Reading. He attended Aldryngton Primary School, Maiden Erlegh School, and Forest School. In 2010, McIntyre was part of Aldryngton's under 11 football side who reached the final of the Football League Community Cup, where they represented Reading FC against Leicester.[3]
Career
Reading
In July 2016, McIntyre signed his first professional deal with Reading,[4] signing a new deal until the summer of 2020 on 3 January 2018.[5] McIntyre became the 48th graduate from Reading Academy when he made his debut in a 1–1 draw against Rotherham United on 15 December 2018, earning man of the match.[6] After the game it was revealed he had played with a fractured forehead and required surgery for metal plates to be fitted. He was consequently ruled out of playing any further games for a few months.
On 26 February 2019, McIntyre signed a new contract with Reading until the summer of 2021.[7]
McIntyre scored his first goal for Reading in a 2–1 win over Luton Town on 26 December 2020.[8]
With his contract due to expire on 30 June 2021, McIntyre signed a new three-year contract with Reading on 29 June 2021, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2024.[9]
Portsmouth
On 30 January 2024, McIntyre left Reading to sign a two-and-a-half-year contract, with a club option for an additional 12 months, with Portsmouth for an undisclosed fee.[10][11]
McIntyre made his Portsmouth debut four days after signing for the club, in the 4-1 home win against Northampton Town. McIntyre was shown a straight red card by referee Sam Purkiss in the 54th minute for a 50/50 challenge with Northampton's Mitch Pinnock, however this card (and the subsequent three match ban) was rescinded on appeal. McIntyre received a fractured ankle due to the weight of the challenge and missed the rest of Portsmouth's promotion-winning campaign.[12]
On 2 February 2026, Portsmouth announced that they had mutual agreed with McIntyre to end their contract, with McIntyre having played 14 times for the club.[13]
Loans to Charlton Athletic and Bradford City
On 3 February 2025, McIntyre joined EFL League One club Charlton Athletic on loan for the rest of the 2024–25 season.[14]
On 1 September 2025, McIntyre left Portsmouth on loan again to League One, this time to Bradford City on a season-long loan.[15] On 14 January 2026, he returned to Portsmouth after Bradford City exercised their option to terminate his loan.[16]
Aberdeen
On 3 February 2026, Aberdeen announced the signing of McIntyre on a short-term contract until the end of the season.[17]
