Maguire-Drew was born in Crawley, West Sussex. As a child he played for local side Oakwood F.C. before being offered a trial at the youth team of Brighton & Hove Albion where he signed a two-year scholarship.[4] In April 2016, whilst still an under-18 player, he joined local Isthmian League Division One South side Worthing on a youth loan until the end of the season.[5] He scored an impressive eight goals in six games, helping Worthing to win the play-offs and promotion as they beat Faversham Town in the final.[6]
In July 2016, he signed his first professional contract with Brighton, and later in the month he signed for National League side Dagenham & Redbridge on loan for an initial six-month period.[7] He scored on his debut for the club in a 3–0 win against Southport on the first day of the season.[8] In January 2017, the loan was extended until the end of the season after scoring eight goals in twenty-nine appearances.[9] He continued to remain a first team regular and helped Dagenham to a fifth-place finish where they eventually lost out to Forest Green Rovers in the play-off semi-finals.[10] He made a total of forty-eight appearances for the Daggers, scoring sixteen times and won the Young Player of the Year award.[11]
In July 2017, he signed for newly promoted EFL League Two side Lincoln City on a season-long loan deal.[12] He made his league debut in the 2–2 draw with Wycombe Wanderers, replacing Josh Ginnelly as a second-half substitute.[10] In January 2018 he joined another League Two team, Coventry City, on a half-season loan.
On 1 August 2018, he joined Wrexham on loan for the 2018–19 season.[13] He made his debut for the club on the opening day of the 2018–19 season during a 1–0 victory over Dover Athletic.[14] He returned to Brighton in December 2018.[15]
In January 2019, he joined Leyton Orient on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[16] Maguire-Drew was part of the Orient side that won the National League and finished runners-up in the FA Trophy.[17]
He joined Crawley Town on loan until the end of the season on 18 January 2021.[18]
At the end of the 2020–21 season, Maguire-Drew was released by Orient and at the end of his tenure with the O's said “I can’t speak highly enough of my time at Orient, but I was a bit disappointed with how it ended,” [19][20]
Maguire-Drew joined Woking in August 2021, following a short-term trial period.[21] He went onto feature seven times, scoring once for The Cards before leaving the club three months later via mutual consent.[22]
On 29 November 2021, Maguire-Drew signed an 18 month contract with Grimsby Town.[23] On 5 June 2022, Maguire-Drew scored a 111th minute winner as Grimsby defeated Solihull Moors in the 2022 National League play-off Final to secure an immediate return to the Football League.[24]
Maguire-Drew is a lifelong supporter of Arsenal.[25]
