He kicked five goals in his debut match in 2003, but only kicked one more in his career before he was delisted at the end of the season.[2] He remained in Victoria and has played for Templestowe in the Eastern Football League and Lalor in the Diamond Valley Football League.[3]
In July 2020, McGrath was charged with causing bodily harm after allegedly throwing a brick at a teenager dangerously riding a motorcycle which he had stolen from Mr McGrath and taunted him by driving around him over and over along with pulling the middle finger on him. He escaped from custody after facing Perth Magistrates Court in August, but turned himself in to police the next day pleading guilty.[4]
