Brentford
McLaughlin began his career at Scottish junior club St Roch's and was signed by Scottish manager Malky McDonald of English Division Three side Brentford in 1961. McLaughlin made only seven first team appearances during a five-year spell at Griffin Park, scoring once in a League Cup match versus Reading in September 1963. After substitutions were introduced in the Football League in 1965, McLaughlin was the first Brentford player to come on as a substitute, replacing Billy Cobb after 41 minutes of a 2–0 win over Oldham Athletic on 11 April 1964. McLaughlin spent much of his time in the Brentford reserve team, having some joy, winning the 1964–65 London Challenge Cup. McLaughlin departed Griffin Park in the summer of 1966.
Gravesend & Northfleet
After his release from Brentford, McLaughlin dropped into non-league football and signed for Southern League Division One side Gravesend & Northfleet in the summer of 1966.
