Career[]
Chelsea[]
McCormick joined Chelsea at the age of six.[2]
Shrewsbury Town (loan)[]
On 18 July 2019, McCormick signed a new three-year deal, which would keep him at the club until 2022.[3] On the same day, he joined League One side Shrewsbury Town on a season-long loan. He was recommended to manager Sam Ricketts by former Chelsea player and current coach Joe Cole.[2] On 3 August, he made his professional debut for "The Shrews" in a 1–0 home win over Portsmouth, during which he was substituted off for Josh Laurent after 53 minutes.[4]
His loan spell came to an end on 2 January 2020.
Bristol Rovers (loan)[]
On 21 September 2020, McCormick joined Bristol Rovers on loan until the end of the season.[5] On 26 September, he made his league debut as a starter against Doncaster Rovers, which ended in a 4–1 away loss.[6] On 12 December 2020, he scored his first goal for the club, finishing from inside the box to score the second in a 3–0 victory over rivals Plymouth Argyle.[7] On 19 January 2021, McCormick scored an impressive free kick to level the scores as Rovers came from 2–0 down to get back to 2–2 against Crewe Alexandra in a match they eventually lost 3–2,[8] the goal being nominated for the league's January Goal of the Month award on 19 February,[9] surprisingly winning the award a week later by public vote.[10] On 5 April 2021, with Rovers deep in a relegation battle, McCormick scored a double as the Gas beat Doncaster Rovers, a result that saw Rovers end a five-match losing streak and keep their survival hopes alive,[11] a performance which saw McCormick rated a perfect 10/10 by the Bristol Post.[12] At the end of the season, he re-joined Chelsea when his loan spell was up.
AFC Wimbledon[]
On 2 July 2021, McCormick returned to League One, this time on a permanent basis, as he left the club he had played for since the age of six to sign for AFC Wimbledon.[13] He scored on his debut for Wimbledon in a 2-1 win at Doncaster Rovers on 7 August 2021.[14]
