Career

McKane first came to prominence after joining the St. Vincent's club from the O'Connell's Boys' Club. He lined out during a golden era for the club and won five County Championship titles in six seasons. McKane first played for the Dublin senior team in 1960 and, after initially lining out at midfield, eventually found his best position at wing-back.
