Signed from Harrogate Town, he was a member of a family who worked on the Grantley Estate, near Ripon. McGee did not play a League game for Leeds United, but was one of several players who were chosen for United in the preliminary rounds of the FA Cup of 1920-21, which clashed with Leeds first team fixtures and so understrength teams were fielded. His only game was in the home tie with Boothtown on 11th September 1920. After another spell with Harrogate Town, in March 1922 he joined Hull City but broke a leg against Wolverhampton Wanderers in an FA Cup-tie effectively ending his career. He retired at the end of the 1926-27 season, after seventy games for the Tigers.
