Damien Paul McCrory (born 22 February 1990) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL Championship side Burton Albion.
First signing professional forms with Plymouth Argyle in 2008, he spent the next two years on loan at Port Vale and Grimsby Town, before joining Dagenham & Redbridge in 2010. He played for the "Daggers" in their victory in the 2010 League Two play-off final. In June 2012, he signed a two-year deal with Burton Albion. He helped Burton to the League Two title in 2014–15 and then to promotion out of League One in 2015–16. He also won international caps for his country at under-18 and under-19 levels.
Having been signed to Plymouth Argyle's Centre of Excellence in August 2006, McCrory rose through the ranks to earn a twelve-month professional contract with the club in May 2008.
He started the 2008–09 season positively by joining the first team squad in Austria on their annual tour, scoring in one of the games against SpVgg Greuther Fürth. He was given shirt number 29 for his first professional season. McCrory joined League Two side Port Vale on loan in October 2008, looking to gain some league experience. He made his league debut against Shrewsbury Town on 11 October, replacing Paul Edwards on 54 minutes as Vale went on to win 2–1. He fitted into the side well and Vale were keen to see him stay on loan until January 2009. McCrory returned to Plymouth at the end of 2008, despite manager Dean Glover's best efforts to extend the deal further; Plymouth wanted him back at Home Park.
