# Harrison McGahey

Harrison McGahey (born 26 September 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Cymru Premier club The New Saints. McGahey began his career as a junior with Blackburn Rovers and then Liverpool, before moving to Blackpool where he eventually made his first team debut.

## Career
### Blackpool

McGahey joined Blackpool aged 14 after spells in the youth teams of Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool. After helping the Blackpool youth side win the junior league title, McGahey signed a professional contract with the club.

### Sheffield United

McGahey joined Tranmere Rovers on loan until the end of the 2014–15 season on 13 February 2015. He was recalled one month later.

### Rochdale
