Career

Walsall

Born in Stourbridge, West Midlands,[1] McDermott progressed through the Walsall youth system and he earned a scholarship place ahead of the 2004–05 season.[2] He made his first team debut in a 1–0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup after entering the game as a substitute in the 77th minute on 25 August 2004,[3] which was his only appearance of the 2004–05 season.[4] He finished the 2005–06 season with three appearances and he signed his first professional contract with Walsall in May 2006.[5][6] He joined Southern Football League Premier Division club Halesowen Town on an initial one-month loan on 4 January 2007,[7] where he made four appearances and scored two goals.[8] He finished the 2007–08 season with 15 appearances for Walsall and the club announced that he would be released when his contract expired on 30 June 2008.[9][10]

Kidderminster Harriers

He joined Conference National club Kidderminster Harriers on a free transfer in August following a trial.[11] He made his debut in a 1–1 draw against Lewes as an 80th minute substitute on 9 August.[12] He finished the 2008–09 season with 29 appearances and one goal for Kidderminster and he signed a new one-year contract in July 2009.[13][14] McDermott was re-signed by Halesowen on an initial one-month loan on 17 February 2010 to try to regain full fitness.[15] He finished the loan in March with five appearances and two goals.[16] He was invited back to pre-season training by Kidderminster after he finished the 2009–10 season with 25 appearances and one goal.[17][18]

York City

He joined fellow Conference team York City on trial in July and he played in a 1–0 pre-season friendly defeat to Hull City, with manager Martin Foyle saying he was impressed by McDermott's performance.[19][20] Ahead of the 2–0 friendly defeat to Barnsley in which McDermott featured,[21] Foyle spoke to the player's agent ahead of deciding over offering him a contract.[22] After scoring from a "weakly struck" direct free kick to score the winning goal in a 1–0 friendly victory over Morecambe,[23] McDermott was offered a contract with York and he signed for the club on 28 July.[24][25] He made his debut as an 82nd minute substitute in a 2–2 draw at Bath City on 21 August.[26] Having made four appearances for the club, McDermott was released by York on 5 October before being re-signed on another month-to-month contract on 19 October by new manager Gary Mills.[27][28] His first appearance since returning was in a 2–0 victory at Kidderminster in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round on 23 October, which was also his first start for York.[29] McDermott scored his first goal for York in a 2–0 victory over Southport on 23 November.[30] He agreed a new contract with York on 27 December that would keep him at the club until the end of the 2010–11 season, which would be signed in January 2011.[31]

Despite having yet to agree terms on a new contract he was invited back to pre-season training with York,[32] before re-signing on non-contract terms on 1 July.[33] He sufferd a foot injury during a 1–1 draw with Garforth Town in pre-season on 11 July, which required an X-ray.[34] By October, Mills was looking to loan McDermott out in order for him to play regular first team football.[35]
