Michael McGinlay (born in Bolton, December 10, 1987) is a professional footballer whose last club was Dundalk in the League of Ireland [1]. He is the son of Bolton Wanderers legend John McGinlay.

[edit] Career

McGinlay began his career at Manchester City but never made the breakthrough so he moved to America where he signed for the Cincinnati Kings. He scored 9 times in 33 appearances for the club in his first season.

A winger or striker, he signed for Bohs in July 2007 and scored his first goal for the club on October 19 in a 2-1 win over Derry City.

He signed for Bohs in July 2007 and scored twice in six league outings before, after Sean Connor departed, he fell out of favour under new manager Pat Fenlon last season. As a result, McGinlay left midway through the campaign to join Ballymena United on-loan.

In January 2009, he signed for Dundalk F.C. and made his debut when entering as a substitute during the 1-0 loss at Galway United on 13 March.

At the end of the 2009 season he was released by the Oriel Park outfit [2].
