A hard-working midfielder, McGrath made his senior debut for Coventry City on 28 April 1984 in one of their heaviest defeats ever - an 8-2 Football League First Division defeat at Southampton.

He set up the winning goal with a cross that was deflected off the knee of Gary Mabbutt.

By the time of his departure to Hong Kong First Division League side Sing Tao at the end of the 1993-94 season, when the Sky Blues finished 11th in the FA Premier League, he had played 214 league games for the club and scored four goals.

After unsuccessful 3 months in Hong Kong, he played for Portsmouth for the rest of his professional career, retiring in 1997. He now has business interests in the north of Coventry as licensee of the Hawkes Mill Sports and Social Club.
