National Independent Soccer Association (NISA) squad Los Angeles Force signed Anteater defender McLaughlin as its newest in 2021. "This has been a dream of mine my entire life," noted the 'Eater' center back. "I feel blessed I was able to be in a place like UCI men's soccer that prepared me so well to take this next step in my soccer career."

A native of Folsom, CA, McLaughlin excelled on the club level training in Ireland and playing for Sac Republic Academy. He started his collegiate career off at the University of San Francisco playing 20 matches in two years there before transferring to UC Irvine.
