Aaron McCarey (born 14 January 1992) is an Irish footballer who plays for Wolverhampton Wanderers as a goalkeeper. Having joined Wolverhampton Wanderers from Monaghan United in January 2010, he has had loan spells with AFC Telford United, Walsall and York City.
Club career
Born in Monaghan, County Monaghan,[1] McCarey began his career at his hometown club Monaghan United in their youth system aged eight, before breaking into the first team as a 17-year-old.[3] He established himself as the League of Ireland First Division club's first choice goalkeeper in the 2009 season, before moving to join the youth ranks of English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers in January 2010, after having agreed to the transfer in September 2009.[4]
The goalkeeper gained his first experience of English football when he spent a month on loan at non-league Telford United in Spring 2011.[5] He has since been loaned out once more, joining League One club Walsall in November 2012 for a month,[6] where he made his Football League debut on 17 November 2012 in a 2–2 draw at Crawley.[7] In February 2013 he was re-loaned to the Saddlers initially for the remainder of the season,[8] but was recalled after a month to cover an injury to Carl Ikeme at Wolves.[9] Following their relegation to League One at the end of the 2012–13 season, Wolves took up the option of a one-year contract extension on McCarey.[10]
McCarey made his club debut on 3 September 2013 in a Football League Trophy tie against Walsall.[11] On 28 November 2013, he signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract with Wolves, and on the same day joined League Two side York City on loan until 4 January 2014.[12] He made his debut two days later in a 0–0 home draw with Rochdale, and made five appearances for York before being recalled by Wolves due to an injury to Carl Ikeme on 2 January 2014.[11][13] He made his Wolves league debut the following day, in a 1–0 away defeat to Gillingham.[11]
International career
McCarey was capped once for the Republic of Ireland national under-17 team, playing in a 3–1 home defeat to Poland in a friendly on 21 April 2009.[14] Over a year later, on 11 May 2010, he made his only appearance for the under-18 team in a 1–0 friendly away defeat to Macedonia.[15] McCarey made his under-19 debut on 9 August 2010 in a friendly against Ukraine, which finished a 0–0 draw at home.[16] He played at the 2011 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, with the Republic of Ireland being beaten 5–0 by Spain in the semi-final on 29 July 2011.[17] This was his last appearance for the under-19s, earning 14 caps at this level.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] McCarey's debut at under-21 level came as a substitute for Ian McLoughlin in a 2–1 friendly home victory over Denmark on 28 May 2012.[30] He has been capped 10 times by the under-21s, as of the match played on 15 October 2013.[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] He received his first call up to the senior Republic of Ireland national team as a replacement for Keiren Westwood, for a friendly against Spain in New York in June 2013.[40]
