Rhys McCabe (born 24 July 1992) is a Scottish footballer playing for Sheffield Wednesday. McCabe started his senior career with Rangers, but opted to leave the club in 2012 after it became insolvent and entered administration, resulting in liquidation. He has also represented the Scotland national under-21 football team.
Career
A member of Rangers under 19 squad[2] McCabe scored in the Youth Cup Final in April 2011 in what was ultimately a 2–1 defeat to Celtic.[3] In July 2011 he made his first team debut as a substitute in a friendly against Blackpool,[4] going on to make subsequent appearances in friendlies against Liverpool[5] and Hamburg.[6] He signed a contract extension in December 2011 extending his stay with the club to 2015.[7] Having been an unused substitute in nine previous fixtures that season,[8] he made his Scottish Premier League debut on 3 March 2012, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 defeat to Hearts.[9] On 25 March he made his Old Firm debut in a 3–2 win over Celtic.[10]
McCabe declined to have his contract transferred to the new company set up by Charles Green.[11] PFA Scotland noted that players were entitled to become free agents if they objected to the transfer.[11] He then signed a three-year contract with Sheffield Wednesday.[12] On 11 October 2012 Sheffield Wednesday agreed an undisclosed settlement with Rangers.[13] His first goal for Sheffield Wednesday was an edge of the box screamer from a corner against Charlton Athletic on 22 December 2012. The goal was subsequently voted goal of the day on Sky Sports News.
McCabe made his debut for the Scotland national under-21 football team in April 2012.[14]
On 17 March 2014, McCabe joined League Two side Portsmouth on loan for the rest of the 2013–14 season.[15] He was recalled early from his loan spell by Sheffield Wednesday on 24 April 2014.[16]
