Matthew Glen McClure (born 17 November 1991) is a professional footballer who plays for Aldershot Town in the National League as a striker. He has also represented Northern Ireland at under-21 and under-19 level.
McClure started his career in the Wycombe Wanderers youth team and had spells at Burnham and Wealdstone on work experience deals during the 2009–10 season. He made his Wycombe first team debut as a late substitute against Shrewsbury Town on 25 September 2010. On 12 August 2011 McClure joined Hayes & Yeading on a month's loan. He scored nine minutes into his debut against Alfreton Town, but later suffered a dislocated ankle, leaving him out of action for several months. After returning from injury, McClure scored his first professional goal for Wycombe in a 4–1 defeat to Scunthorpe United on 3 March 2012.
On 20 November 2012, McClure scored two goals as Wycombe beat Rotherham United 3–2 at the New York Stadium. The following week he scored 2 more goals in a 3–0 home win against Burton Albion.
On 15 December 2012, McClure scored Wycombe's second goal in a 2–0 win over Accrington Stanley. Later in the match he was sent off for a second bookable offence.
On 3 March 2015, McClure came on as a substitute in the 68th minute in place of Sam Saunders in an eventual 2–1 away win at Tranmere Rovers, but was given a straight red card 70 seconds after coming on for elbowing Adam Dugdale. Later that year he was released by Wycombe.
