Club career

Carlisle United

McCarron was born in Preston and grew up in Appleby-in-Westmorland.[5][6] After coming through the academy at Carlisle United, McCarron broke into the first team under manager John Sheridan, making his first-team debut in the EFL Trophy on 4 September 2018, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute for Ashley Nadesan in a 3–2 win over Morecambe at Brunton Park.[7] He made his debut in League Two eleven days later, in a 2–0 home defeat to Tranmere Rovers.[8] Later that month he signed an 18-month contract, with the option of a further year.[6][9] He was given his first start in a 3–1 defeat at Sunderland in an EFL Trophy group stage game on 9 October.[10] He was handed his first league start by caretaker-managers Tommy Wright and Paul Murray on 12 January, in a 3–0 defeat at Northampton Town, and retained his place in the starting eleven for the next two matches under new manager Steven Pressley.[11][3] He ended the 2018–19 season with four starts and sixteen substitute appearances to his name.[12] He turned down an improved contract offer from the club.[13]

Leeds United

McCarron signed for Leeds United for an undisclosed fee on 1 July 2019,[14] agreeing a three-year deal at the club.[15][16] He signed a new two-year contract with the club in September 2021.[17][18] Marcelo Bielsa gave McCarron his Premier League debut at Elland Road on 18 December, sending him on as a second half substitute in a 4–1 defeat to Arsenal.[19][20] This proved to be his only first-team appearance for the club, in addition to three EFL Trophy appearances for the under-21s.[2]

Stoke City

On 29 June 2022, McCarron joined Stoke City on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[21][22] He was told by manager Michael O'Neill that he "would be given a chance to play in the first team", however O'Neill was sacked on 25 August.[23][24] On 1 September, McCarron joined League One side Port Vale on loan for the 2022–23 season; he became the first Stoke player to be loaned directly to Potteries derby rivals Port Vale since March 1978.[25][26] He played two league and two cup games for Port Vale.[27]

International career

McCarron was added to the Scotland under-19 squad in February 2020 and won one cap.[28][29] On 21 August 2020, McCarron was called up to the Scotland under-21 squad for the first time.[30]

Style of play

Carlisle academy manager Darren Edmondson described McCarron as a "pacey" winger with "a high work rate".[31] He is also able to play at left-back or left-wing back.[32][26] McCarron describes his own main strength as "running with the ball".[5]
