On 4 July 2024, McEachran joined fellow League Two side Grimsby Town on a two-year deal. He made his first appearance for the club off the bench in Grimsby's first league match away to Fleetwood Town.

## Personal life

## International career

McEachran was a member of the England U17s side that finished runners-up at the 2017 UEFA European Under-17 Championship - scoring in a 4-0 group stage victory over Ukraine and going on to be named in the team of the tournament. McEachran and that Young Lions squad would go on to better that achievement later that year by winning the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India.
