McCann's 21 goals for Wolves won the golden boot in 2004–05, as the club finished runners–up to Sunderland Women in the FA Women's Premier League Northern Division.[1]
After a season with Everton, McCann signed for Birmingham City in 2006.[2] During 2009–10 she returned to Wolves on dual–signing terms, to regain fitness after the birth of her child.[3]
McCann was called up to a Northern Ireland training camp in November 2007, after Birmingham City's programme editor alerted them to her eligibility. McCann's grandfather Henry was from Portadown.[4]
She made her international debut on 16 February 2008, as a 77th-minute substitute in a 4–0 defeat in Spain.[5]
