[edit] Early Playing Career
McCleary's football career began with Oxford City then he moved onto Oxford United but was unable to break into their first team and was released. He joined Slough Town and then moved to Bromley in January 2007. In total McCleary made over 40 appearances for Bromley scoring 11 goals. Nottingham Forest manager Colin Calderwood offered him a trial at the City Ground where he did well enough to secure a contract on 31 January 2008.
[edit] Nottingham Forest
McCleary made his first team debut as an 87th minute substitute, in the 1-0 home defeat to Carlisle United, on 3 March 2008. He scored his first goal for the club, on 1 April 2008, when he scored, in injury time, in a 2-0 win at Carlisle, and on 5 April was handed his first start where he was voted man of the match as Forest beat Cheltenham 3-1 at the City Ground. He played a total of eight games for The Reds that season helping them gain promotion to the Coca-Cola Championship, and is being tipped to become a key player in the 2008-09 season.
