McInroy played youth football with Cowdenbeath before joining Celtic's academy at the age of 12.[3] He became the captain of the reserve team at Celtic but suffered a torn anterior crucial ligament in May 2019, meaning he was out injured until February 2020.[6][7]

He joined Dunfermline Athletic on loan in September 2020.[5][3][6] He made his debut for the club on 6 October 2020 in a 1–0 victory over Dumbarton in the Scottish League Cup, before making his league debut on 17 October 2020 in a 3–1 victory over Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[2]
