McReady started his career with Darlington in their youth system as a 10-year-old, and was first included in the first-team squad during the 2008–09 season.

Born in South Shields, Tyne and Wear, McReady joined Darlington's youth system as a 10-year-old. He was first involved in the first-team squad in the 2008–09 season. The following year he spent time on loan at Northern League Division One club Billingham Town, recording an assist on his debut against Esh Winning in January 2010. On his return to Darlington, McReady was named more frequently among the first-team substitutes, and he made his debut at the age of 17 on 24 April 2010 as a half-time substitute, as Darlington lost 2–0 at home to Grimsby Town in League Two. He became the 53rd player to be used by Darlington in 2009–10. McReady made four appearances as Darlington were relegated to the Conference Premier at the end of the season, and in May 2010 he signed a one-year professional contract with the club.
