John Seamus "Jack" McInerney (born August 5, 1992) is an American soccer player.
McInerney graduated from Bradenton Preparatory High School in Bradenton, Florida, and played club soccer for the Cobb Futbol Club in Georgia. He was named the National Soccer Coaches Association of America National Youth Player of the Year for 2009, having already established a regional reputation as a member of the Georgia 1992 Boys Olympic Development Program.
McInerney turned professional straight out of high school; he was drafted in the first round (7th overall) of the 2010 MLS SuperDraft by Philadelphia Union. He made his professional debut on March 25, in the opening game of the 2010 MLS season against Seattle Sounders FC. He scored his first professional goal on May 1 against the LA Galaxy. Philadelphia Union supporters affectionately nickname Jack McInerney "Jack Mac".
McInerney also spent one match on loan with the Harrisburg City Islanders of the USL Second Division during the 2010 season.
In April 2014, McInerney was traded to the Montreal Impact in exchange for Andrew Wenger. During his first season with the Montreal Impact, McInerney grabbed his first professional silverware scoring three goals and winning the Canadian Championship golden boot as Montreal claimed the Canadian title.
McInerney scored the first goal in Montreal's 4–2 loss in the 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League semi-final second leg. However, because they won the opening leg at home 2–0, they advanced to the final on away goals. McInerney scored in the second leg of the final against Club América, however, Montreal lost the game 4–2 and 5–3 on aggregate.
