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

Brian McEniff gave McGee his Donegal senior debut against Fermanagh in the 2005 Dr. McKenna Cup on 2 January 2005. He played in the 2006 Ulster Senior Football Championship Final at Croke Park.

McGee was part of the Donegal senior team that won the county's first National Football League against Mayo in 2007. It was the first piece of silverware the county senior team had lifted since 1992.
In Jim McGuinness's first game in charge of Donegal, a drab 2011 National Football League draw with the perennially underachieving Sligo, McGee pulled a hamstring, was moved to the full-forward line and scored a goal in the latest manifestation of Sligo's notorious inability to succeed. McGee was out injured for four weeks after that game but when he returned he established himself as Donegal's first-choice full-back in the team's march towards the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.
In 2011, McGee won his first All Star award. He added another in 2012.
In 2013, McGee made his 100th appearance for Donegal in the county's opening National Football League against Kildare at Croke Park, becoming the sixth footballer then playing for the team to reach that mark following Christy Toye, Colm McFadden, Rory Kavanagh, Karl Lacey and McGee's own brother Eamon (they were also the first set of brothers to ever reach 100 Donegal appearances).
On 26 May 2013, Stephen O'Neill clattered into McGee in the 24th minute of Tyrone's Ulster Championship match against All-Ireland champions Donegal. O'Neill crumpled in a heap on his backside while McGee stood steady with the ball in his hands.
He thinks about Kevin Cassidy after every game.
Inter-provincial
McGee has played for Ulster in the Inter-Provincial Series.
International rules
McGee has twice represented Ireland against Australia in the International Rules Series: in 2011 and 2013. Ireland won both.
