Playing career
Magee played for Glenavon, before moving to England to play for Jimmy McIlroy's Oldham Athletic, in June 1967, reportedly for a fee of £5,000. The "Latics" finished 16th in the Third Division in 1967–68, before suffering relegation into the Fourth Division under the stewardship of Jack Rowley with a last place finish in 1968–69. Magee scored nine goals in 45 league games in his two seasons at Boundary Park. In July 1969 he signed for Gordon Lee's Port Vale; the club had an unusually small squad in the 1969–70 promotion season, but Magee only had 13 starts in all competitions, instead being favoured as a substitute. With just one FA Cup and one league goal from his 21 games (against Northampton Town at Vale Park and Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park) he was given a free transfer in May 1970 and moved back to his native Northern Ireland to play for Linfield. He scored in the First Round of the European Cup in 1971–72, in a 3–2 defeat to Belgian side Standard Liège at Windsor Park.
