Career
McKoy was born in Newham and began his career as a trainee with Wimbledon. He made his league debut on 13 December 2003 as a late substitute for Alex Tapp in a 1–0 defeat at home to Walsall. He remained with the Dons as they became Milton Keynes Dons until being released at the end of the 2005–06 season.
After being released by the Dons, he was signed by Championship side Cardiff City.[2] He joined Torquay United on loan in January 2007 until the end of the 2006–07 season.[3] He made his Torquay debut two days later in the 2–0 defeat at home to Southampton in the FA Cup. He was released by Cardiff in May 2007, having only made one appearance for them during a 2–0 loss to Barnet in the Football League Cup.
He went on trial at Shrewsbury Town in December 2007, playing for their reserve team.[4] This was followed by a trial spell with St Johnstone during which he played in reserve matches against East Fife and Livingston.
After trial spells with clubs including Barnet, Yeovil and Dagenham & Redbridge, McKoy signed a contract until the end of 2008 with St Johnstone on 21 August 2008.[5] McKoy played in five league games for Saints before being released in December 2008.[6] He signed for Enfield Town on New Year's Day 2009.
McKoy signed for Grays Athletic on 26 June 2009, along with Serge Makofo, Marcel McKie and Allan McLeod.[7] He was released from Grays Athletic without making an appearance and joined Bishop's Stortford on trial in August.[8] McKoy signed for Sutton United on 22 December,[9] making his debut in the 3–0 home win against Carshalton Athletic on 28 December.[10] He left in January 2010, citing personal reasons.[11] He joined Kettering Town in October 2010.[12] He went on to make 30 league appearances for the club, before joining Northampton Town in July 2011. He was sent off on 13 September 2011 against AFC Wimbledon, and this followed his sending off in his previous game.[13]
