McLean began his collegiate career in 2016, coming to the United States to pursue a professional career after failing to secure a spot with an A-League team.[2] He attended Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and played for four years with the men's soccer program, earning Missouri Valley Conference All-Freshman team honors in his first season and Academic All-Mid-American Conference honors in his senior year.[3]

In February 2020, McLean was signed by the Greenville Triumph of USL League One, joining alongside defenders Cesar Murillo and Trevor Swartz.[4] He made his debut for the club on 18 July 2020, coming on as an 83rd-minute substitute for Noah Pilato in a 2–0 victory over Fort Lauderdale CF.[5]
