David Michael McGurk (born 30 September 1982) is an English semi-professional footballer who plays as a defender for Northern Premier League Division One North club Hyde United, where he is also the assistant manager.
McGurk started his career with the Darlington's youth system and broke into the first team during the 2001–02 season. He was eventually loaned out to York City in the Conference National in 2004. He had two further loan periods with York before joining the club permanently in 2006, after making 62 appearances for Darlington. He played for the team in the play-offs in his first season and won the club's Clubman of the Year award in his second season. He played in the 2009 FA Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium and returned to the stadium for the 2010 Conference Premier play-off Final.
Born in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, McGurk played for Marton Boys from the age of nine up until under-15 level, when he was approached by Middlesbrough and Sunderland to play matches for them. He was invited back to Middlesbrough after playing for them, but was offered a contract by Sunderland and stayed with the club for six months before being released. He started a Youth Training Scheme with Darlington in July 1999 and progressed through the club's youth system. He made his first-team debut on 17 November 2001, as a 45th-minute substitute in a 1–0 away win Kidderminster Harriers in the FA Cup first round. He finished the 2001–02 season with 13 appearances and signed a professional contract with Darlington on 9 August 2002. He scored Darlington's equalising goal away to Kidderminster on 17 January 2004, halting a run of five 1–0 defeats out of six matches for the team during 2003–04, which helped them avoid relegation from the Third Division. He finished the season with 31 appearances and four goals.
