McDermott was named as Youth Player of the Year at Port Vale for the 2021–22 season.[4] He turned professional in July 2022, signing a three-year contract with the club retaining the option of a further 12 months; David Flitcroft, the club's director of football, said that "he is a player that will develop physically, technically and tactically over time".[5] He made his professional debut in the English Football League at the age of 17 when he started the opening game of the 2022–23 season on 30 July, a 2–1 victory over Fleetwood Town at Vale Park.[6] Having been played out of position as a forward due to the club being short of strikers, he played his first game in midfield against Stockport County in the EFL Trophy.[7]
