[edit] Club career
[edit] Early career
After signing professional terms upon turning seventeen, McMahon captained the youth team to the 2003-04 FA Youth Cup title, along with fellow academy graduates Andrew Taylor, David Wheater and Adam Johnson. At age eighteen, he made his Premier League debut against Manchester United on 3 October 2004, playing alongside former manager Gareth Southgate and went on to make 13 appearances.[1] Eighteen days later, he made his European debut in the UEFA Cup group stage match away win at Aigaleo. His good showing earned plaudits from the likes of Alan Hansen.[1] However, his progress was hampered by a series of injuries, including a serious knee injury and a broken leg sustained between March 2005 and late 2006.
[edit] Loan spells
McMahon spent part of the 2007–08 season on loan to Blackpool. He returned to the Middlesbrough first team in May 2008 as a substitute in the 8–1 victory over Manchester City. He signed a one year contract extension in summer 2008 and moved to Sheffield Wednesday on an initial one-month loan on 21 August 2008.[2]
McMahon was selected in the Championship Team of the Week following his performance against Watford on 13 September 2008.[3] This was followed by agreement to extend the loan deal at Sheffield Wednesday until 15 November.[4] On 21 October, he was show a straight red card, his career first, at Barnsley for a serious foul and received a three-match suspension. He returned to Hillsborough on completion of his ban for the remaining 28 days of the 90 day loan. He scored his first career goal in his time at Sheffield Wednesday against Norwich City on 29 November; his last appearance for the team.[5]
[edit] Return to Boro
In December, McMahon was recalled by Middlesbrough and made his first appearance of the season in the 1-1 draw at home to Arsenal. At the end of April, he signed a new three-year deal.[6]
McMahon started the 2009-10 season as first choice at the expense of Justin Hoyte, who was then played out of position.[7] He regained his place under new manager Gordon Strachan after a spell on the bench. He scored his first goal for the club after a long range free kick in a 2-0 win over Scunthorpe and then scored his second goal for the club with another free kick versus Millwall in a 3-2 away win for the club. McMahon received a red card on Middlesbrough's 1-0 win against Leeds after receiving a second yellow card for a foul on Jonny Howson.[8]
[edit] International career
McMahon has been capped for England from the U17 to the U20 levels. He was first choice right back for the U19's alongside Wheater, Taylor and James Morrison at the 2005 European Championships, where they lost to France in the final.
