Professional
On January 26, 2006, the Los Angeles Galaxy selected McEachron in the first round (twelfth overall) of the 2006 MLS Supplemental Draft. He saw not first team games. At some point in 2006, he moved to the Richmond Kickers, but whether or not this was a loan arrangement with the Galaxy is unclear. However, he did play one game with the D.C. United reserves on loan from the Kickers reserves in 2006. It appears he may have spent part of the 2008 season with the Los Angeles Galaxy because he did not sign with the Kickers until June 5, 2008. On August 22, 2008, he played on loan with the Chicago Fire in Chicago’s exhibition match with C.D. Veracruz
