Kevin McCloy (Irish: Caoimhín Mac Luaidh; born 26 October 1978) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for Derry, with whom he has won a National League title. He also won an All Star for his performances in the 2007 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.
McCloy plays his club football for Erin's Own's Lavey. He is a dual player in that he also plays hurling for Lavey, and has in the past also hurled for Derry - winning a Ulster Senior Hurling Championship medal. He is well known for wearing his candystriped stockings above knee level.
In football he is seen as a tough, old-fashioned full back, who is also very competent with the ball in his hands going forward and a good reader of the game. Although full back is his usual position, he has said he prefers to play at centre half back and has done so on occasion for Derry and Lavey.
McCloy matured late in football terms and he never played at Minor or Under 21 level for Derry. He joined the Senior team during the 2000/2001 National Football League and made his Championship debut in 2001 against Antrim.
