Career
Brentford
McLaughlin began his career at Scottish junior club St Roch's and was signed by Scottish manager Malky McDonald of English Division Three side Brentford in 1961.[1] McLaughlin made only seven first team appearances during a five-year spell at Griffin Park, scoring once in a League Cup match versus Reading in September 1963.[1] After substitutions were introduced in the Football League in 1965, McLaughlin was the first Brentford player to come on as a substitute, replacing Billy Cobb after 41 minutes of a 2–0 win over Oldham Athletic on 11 April 1964.[1] McLaughlin spent much of his time in the Brentford reserve team, having some joy, winning the 1964–65 London Challenge Cup.[2] McLaughlin departed Griffin Park in the summer of 1966.[1]
Gravesend & Northfleet
After his release from Brentford, McLaughlin dropped into non-league football and signed for Southern League Division One side Gravesend & Northfleet in the summer of 1966.[1]
