McCay was a strongly-built all-rounder who began his first-class career with a six for Western Province against the touring Australian team in November 1966, going on to top-score with 82. Two months later, in the B Section of the Currie Cup, he took 6 for 78 and 8 for 76 in Western Province's victory over Natal B. Apart from those two performances his career was modest, and he played a few more matches over subsequent seasons before retiring.

McCay became a businessman. He and his wife Marlene bought and restored the Constantia Uitsig winery at Constantia, Cape Town, where he established a cricket ground.
