Career
McLean signed for Liverpool during the 1894-1895 season as reinforcement for their defence which was not performing well. McLean made his debut against Stoke F.C. in a 3–1 defeat, he made a further 20 appearances that season. The following season he featured less as the only two positions he could play, right and left-back were occupied so he made a total of eight more appearances for Liverpool before he left in 1897.
