Career[]

Brentford[]

McLaughlin began his career at Scottish junior club St Roch's and was signed by Scottish manager Malky McDonald of English Third Division club Brentford in September 1961.[1][2] McLaughlin made only seven first team appearances during a five-year spell at Griffin Park and scored once, in a League Cup match versus Reading in September 1963.[2] After substitutions were introduced in the Football League in 1965, McLaughlin was the first Brentford player to come on as a substitute, when he replaced Billy Cobb after 41 minutes of a 2–0 win over Oldham Athletic on 11 April 1964.[2] McLaughlin spent much of his time in the Brentford reserves and won the 1964–65 London Challenge Cup with the team.[3] McLaughlin departed Griffin Park at the end of the 1965–66.[2]

Gravesend & Northfleet[]

After his release from Brentford, McLaughlin dropped into non-league football and signed for Southern League First Division club Gravesend & Northfleet prior to the beginning of the 1966–67 season.[2]
