He was in the England team for the 1999 Rugby World Cup in Wales and is one of only a handful of players to have an England cap at every representative level (U16; U18; U21 and senior).

He played as a hooker but could also cover prop. He was involved with the England team from 1999–2000.

McCarthy started his early rugby career at Bath academy before moving to Gloucester and then to Bristol where his career was ended by a knee injury in October 2002.
