He won an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship medal, seven Ulster Championships and a National League title with the county. He was also awarded two All Stars.
McConville played club football for Crossmaglen Rangers and won six All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championships, ten Ulster Senior Club Football Championships and 16 Armagh Senior Football Championships with the club.
McConville played as forward. He was one the game's best point-scorers and an expert free-taker. He was consistently a high scorer for Armagh and is the all-time top Ulster scorer in Championship football with a tally of 11-197 (230). He is widely considered as one of Armagh's best ever players. In 2009 to mark the 125th anniversary of the Gaelic Athletic Association he was named by The Irish News as one of the all-time best 125 footballers from Ulster.
Despite his success on the field McConville's personal life has been plagued by gambling problems. He now works as an addiction counsellor.
McConville was born in Crossmaglen, South Armagh. His uncle Gene Morgan played for Armagh and played in the 1953 All-Ireland final. McConville's brother Jim is also regarded as one of Armagh's best ever footballers. He has recently made headlines in Ireland for starring in a New Year's Eve Celebrity Jigs n' Reels special.
