Playing career

McMahon began his first grade career in 1943. That same year McMahon played at five-eighth in North's 1943 grand final defeat against Newtown which would prove to be the club's last grand final appearance before exiting the competition in 1999.

In 1947, McMahon joined Manly and played in their inaugural game against Western Suburbs which Wests won 15–13. McMahon was top point scorer for the club that season in which Manly narrowly avoided the wooden spoon by 2 competition points.

McMahon played for a further 3 seasons for Manly before retiring at the end of the 1950 season.[3]
