Prior to World War II, he was selected for the 1939 World Championships, scheduled to be held at Merano, Italy between 1-14 September, but they were cancelled due to the outbreak of the War on what would have been the opening day of the competition. After the hostilities, McCready competed at the 1948 London Olympics. He later fenced for the Lansdowne Club.
