He co-captained with Eoghan Bán Gallagher the Donegal team that won the 2017 Ulster Under-21 Football Championship final against Derry.[3]
First featuring for his county at senior level under the management of Declan Bonner, McClenaghan scored a goal against Kerry in Killarney in the 37th minute of the opening fixture of the 2018 National Football League.[4] He also started the next game against Galway.[5] He started the next game away to Dublin.[6] He also started the fourth and fifth games, against Kildare and Tyrone respectively.[7][8] He was a late substitute in the sixth game against Monaghan.[9]
