Early career

Born in Larne, County Antrim, McLaughlin began his career at Newcastle United in July 2007.[4] He signed a professional contract a year later but he never played a match at St James' Park. In June 2011, McLaughlin was released by Newcastle after four years at the club.[5]

McLaughlin signed for Conference Premier club York City on 30 June 2011 on a two-year contract.[6][7] McLaughlin said "I thought York was the best club for me. The gaffer has given me the chance to come down here and play some football."[7] He made his debut for York on the opening day of the 2011–12 season in a 2–1 away win against Ebbsfleet United.[8] McLaughlin started in the York team that beat Newport County 2–0 at Wembley Stadium in the 2012 FA Trophy Final.[9] Eight days later, he came on as an 86th-minute substitute in the 2–1 win over Luton Town in the 2012 Conference Premier play-off final at Wembley Stadium, seeing the club win promotion to League Two after an eight-year absence from the Football League.[10] He finished the season with 55 appearances and scored 13 goals.[8] After making 33 appearances and scoring four goals for York in 2012–13,[11] he was released by the club.[12]

Grimsby Town and Gateshead

edit

McLaughlin signed for Conference Premier club Grimsby Town on 28 June 2013 on a two-year contract.[13] Following 2013–14, in which he was a regular in the team that was defeated in the semi-final of both the Conference Premier play-offs and the FA Trophy, McLaughlin found himself less involved with the first team during 2014–15.[14] This prompted him to join Conference North club Harrogate Town on loan in March 2015.[15] He was released by Grimsby at the end of the season.[16]

McLaughlin signed for National League club Gateshead on 10 July 2015 on a one-year contract.[17] After scoring 4 goals in 41 appearances during 2015–16,[18] McLaughlin signed a new two-year contract with Gateshead in May 2016.[19]

Hartlepool United and York City return

edit

McLaughlin signed for Gateshead's National League rivals Hartlepool United on 26 June 2018 on a contract of undisclosed length.[20] He rejoined York City on 23 January 2019 on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season, with the club now in the National League North.[21] He signed for the club permanently on 30 April 2019 on a two-year contract.[22]

On 14 November 2022, McLaughlin signed for Kidderminster Harriers on a month's loan.[23]

International career

edit

McLaughlin has represented Northern Ireland at various youth levels, up to under-21 level.[24] He earned 10 caps for the under-21 team from 2010 to 2012.[25]
