Sean McCarthy (born 12 September 1967) is a Welsh football manager, coach and former professional player who made over 500 appearances in the Football League.
McCarthy played primarily as a striker; however, he was also used in defence.
Born in Bridgend, Glamorgan, McCarthy began his career with hometown team Bridgend Town, before moving to Swansea City just a season later. McCarthy also played in the Football League for Plymouth Argyle, Bradford City, Oldham Athletic, Bristol City and Exeter City, scoring 171 goals in 547 appearances.
He is the most recent player to score a top flight goal for Oldham Athletic, scoring for them in a 1-1 FA Premier League draw against Norwich City at Carrow Road on the final day of the 1993-94 season, a game which Oldham's failure to win cost them their top flight status. They have not since regained it.
McCarthy later played non-league football for Taunton Town.
In May 2008, McCarthy was appointed as the new manager of Southern League Division One side Truro City, following the resignation of Dave Leonard.
On 7 December 2009, McCarthy left the club by mutual consent following a 7-2 away defeat to Stourbridge.
