He made his Wycombe first team debut as a late substitute against Shrewsbury Town on 25 September 2010. On 12 August 2011 McClure joined Hayes & Yeading on a month's loan. He scored nine minutes into his debut against Alfreton Town, but later suffered a dislocated ankle, leaving him out of action for several months. After returning from injury, McClure scored his first professional goal for Wycombe in a 4–1 defeat to Scunthorpe United on 3 March 2012.
On 20 November 2012, McClure scored two goals as Wycombe beat Rotherham United 3–2 at the New York Stadium. The following week he scored 2 more goals in a 3–0 home win against Burton Albion.
On 15 December 2012, McClure scored Wycombe's second goal in a 2–0 win over Accrington Stanley. Later in the match he was sent off for a second bookable offence.
On 3 March 2015, McClure came on as a substitute in the 68th minute in place of Sam Saunders in an eventual 2–1 away win at Tranmere Rovers, but was given a straight red card 70 seconds after coming on for elbowing Adam Dugdale. Later that year he was released by Wycombe.
On July 16, 2015 McClure signed for fellow League 2 side Dagenham & Redbridge.
