Club
In 2006, his club were back in the final of the Donegal Senior Football Championship. He played as his team won their 14th County Championship in one of the worst Donegal county finals ever.
Inter-county
McGee was first called up to the senior team by Brian McEniff for winter training in 2003. His early years in a Donegal shirt were marked by lapses of discipline—at one point Shane Carr left the panel when McGee moved ahead of him on the substitutes bench despite his lack of dedication.
In 2006, he and Kevin Cassidy were suspended from the Donegal football panel over a breach of discipline. McGee later returned and played in the 2006 Ulster Senior Football Championship Final at Croke Park, scoring one point.
McGee was a member of the Donegal team that won the National Football League in 2007, playing from the start to the end in the final against Mayo.
He spent some time in London before returning to Donegal in 2010.
He and his brother played in the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final against Mayo.
He thinks a lot about how he nearly missed this experience through lack of interest. He owes Jim McGuinness so, so much.
He's no fan of training.
He departed the inter-county scene in 2016.
Inter-provincial
McGee has represented Ulster in the Inter-Provincial Series.
Personal life
McGee has a profound fear of flying, a condition which has affected his ability to cope with flights to games in far-flung corners of the earth. Nevertheless, he deals with his disability in a humorous manner. Such witty responses include describing it as "kinda like Dennis Bergkamp" (the former Dutch soccer player who also suffered from this condition during his sporting career) and suggesting before one flight to Cork, "I think I might just get big Neil to knock me out before we leave!".
In his spare time McGee supports marriage equality.
