Career
Playing career
Born in Bridgend, Glamorgan, McCarthy began his career with hometown team Bridgend Town, before moving to Swansea City just a season later. McCarthy also played in the Football League for Plymouth Argyle, Bradford City, Oldham Athletic, Bristol City and Exeter City, scoring 171 goals in 547 appearances.[2]
He is the most recent player to score a top flight goal for Oldham Athletic, scoring for them in a 1-1 FA Premier League draw against Norwich City at Carrow Road on the final day of the 1993-94 season, a game which Oldham's failure to win cost them their top flight status. They have not since regained it.[3]
McCarthy later played non-league football for Taunton Town.

In May 2008, McCarthy was appointed as the new manager of Southern League Division One side Truro City, following the resignation of Dave Leonard.[4][5]
On 7 December 2009, McCarthy left the club by "mutual consent" following a 7-2 away defeat to Stourbridge.[6]
On 13 January 2011, McCarthy was given a job as a coach at Ipswich Town, by former playing partner Paul Jewell.[7]
