Club career

Shrewsbury Town and loan moves

McAtee made his first appearance for the Shrewsbury Town first-team ahead of his second year as a scholar, in a pre-season friendly away at Stourbridge in July 2016.[2] He made his English Football League debut as an 84th-minute substitute for Ryan Yates in a 2–0 loss at Oxford United on the final day of the 2016–17 season,[3] and subsequently signed a one-year professional contract, committing him to the club until summer 2018.[4][5]

McAtee joined Halesowen Town on an initial one-month youth loan on 30 September 2017.[6] This was later extended until Christmas 2017, with "Yeltz" manager John Hill eager to extend it further again,[7] however he returned to his parent club, before being loaned out to National League North club AFC Telford United in February 2018.[8]

On 4 August 2018, McAtee joined National League North side Ashton United on a one-month loan deal.[9] Afterwards, on 26 September, McAtee was loaned out again for the rest of the season, back to Telford.[10] However, on 21 December, he was loaned for a month to Curzon Ashton, again of the same league.[11] The deal was later extended for the rest of the season. He was released by Shrewsbury in May 2019.[12]

Scunthorpe United

On 8 July 2019, McAtee signed for League Two side Scunthorpe United.[13]

He scored his first league goal for the club on 18 January 2020, an equaliser in a 2–2 draw away at Bradford City.[14]
