At amateur level, McVey played for Greenock Wanderers, Ayr RFC, Stirling County and West of Scotland.
Before playing for the professional Glasgow Warriors side, McVey frequently represented the amateur provincial Glasgow District side.[1]
He was one of the famous players who played in Glasgow's unbeaten season of 1989-90. He played 5 out of 6 district matches that season and won that year's Scottish Inter-District Championship.[2]
The veteran loose forward was in Glasgow's squad for their first season as a professional club in 1996-97.
He was on the bench for Glasgow's European Conference match away to Newport RFC on 26 October 1996.[3] He came on as a temporary replacement to David McLeish in that match.[3]
He was also named on the bench for Glasgow's next European match against Agen on 30 October 1996.[4] He did not, however, play in that match.[5]
