Playing career

Millwall

McNamara began his career as a youth player at Millwall, signing his first professional contract with the club in July 2017.[2]

Loan spells

McNamara spent time on loan during the 2018–19 season at Welling United,[3] Dover Athletic[4] and Havant & Waterlooville.[5] Upon his return in May 2019, McNamara signed a new one-year contract with Millwall with an option for a further year.[6]

On 31 July 2019, McNamara joined League Two side Newport County on a season long loan.[7] On 3 August 2019, he made his Football League debut for Newport, being named in the starting line-up for a 2–2 draw against Mansfield Town on the opening day of the 2019–20 season.[8] On 6 January 2020, Millwall recalled McNamara from his loan spell at Newport.[9]

On 14 July 2020, McNamara and fellow Lion Isaac Olaofe joined Scottish Premiership side St Johnstone on season-long loans.[10] On 4 January 2021, McNamara was recalled by Millwall, with teammate James Brown being sent on loan to St Johnstone.[11]

Return to Millwall and breakthrough

Following his return to Millwall in early January 2021, McNamara made his debut for the club on 9 January 2021 in an FA Cup victory over Boreham Wood[12] and made his league debut three days later in a 1–1 away draw with AFC Bournemouth.[13]

On 9 April 2022, McNamara opened his account for the club with the first two goals in a 4–1 thrashing of Barnsley.[14]
