Playing career
McMahon Started his youth career with the famous Belvedere FC. McMahon then began his career as a trainee with West Ham United, turning professional in August 2002. In need of first team experience, he joined League Two Torquay United on loan in March 2004,[1][2] making his debut as a late substitute for Martin Gritton in the 2–2 home draw with Yeovil Town on 3 April 2004. However, that was to be his only game for the Gulls as he returned to West Ham two weeks early, seemingly at his own request.[3]
He was released by West Ham at the end of the 2003–04 season, joining Martin Foyle's League One Port Vale in August 2004. He struggled to establish himself at Vale Park and dropped down a division to join Leyton Orient on a free transfer in November 2004, after rejecting a further short-term deal at Port Vale.[4] Impressing on a non-contract basis he signed a six month deal with Orient in January 2005.[5]
He played 33 games of the O's promotion winning campaign of 2005–06 but fell out of favour the following season and joined Notts County, back in League Two, on loan in November 2006.[6] After his loan spell finished the following January,[7] McMahon joined Conference side Stevenage Borough.[8] A fairly regular member of the first team at Broadhall Way, he was a sub in the FA Trophy final at Wembley. In May 2008 he signed a two year contract with the club.[9]
On 26 November 2008, he was transfer listed by Borough, along with teammate John Martin,[10] and in the 2009 January transfer window McMahon agreed to join fellow Conference side Cambridge United.[11][12] He made his debut in a 4-1 win over Woking at the Abbey Stadium,[13] but struggled to hold down a place in the side. He was an unused substitute in the 2009 Conference National play-off final, as he watched his United teammates lose their second play-off final in as many years. On 16 July 2009, caretaker Cambridge United manager, Paul Carden, announced that McMahon has left the club.[14] He then joined Farnborough for a two year stay. He enjoyed promotion to the Conference South with the club, as they were crowned champions of the Southern Football League Premier Division in 2009–10. The following year he helped the club to the Conference South play-off final, where they were defeated 4–1 by Ebbsfleet United
In June 2011, he signed for Boreham Wood as a player-coach on a two year contract.[15]
