It was from Rotherham that his home town club Sheffield United signed him in July 1892.[1] United were now a Football League side and McCabe was unable to break into the first team, spending the majority of his time at Bramall Lane playing in the reserves.[1] His only competitive start for the Blades came in a Northern League fixture in January 1893, but despite this he remained with the club until July 1895.[1]

United allowed McCabe to return to Rotherham Town, for whom he made 18 league appearances before joining Manchester City in January 1896.[1] His time with Manchester City was unsuccessful and he made only one further league appearance for the Lancashire club before joining Ilkeston Town the following summer.[1]
