Career edit
McDaid played Gaelic football at juvenile and underage levels with the Ballyboden St Enda's club. He eventually progressed onto the club's senior team and was selected at right wing-back when Ballyboden beat Castlebar Mitchels in the 2016 All-Ireland club final.[1] McDaid first appeared on the inter-county scene as captain of the Dublin minor football team that lost the 2011 All-Ireland minor final to Tipperary.[2] He later won an All-Ireland U21 Championship title in 2014.[3] McDaid was drafted onto the Dublin senior football team in 2015, however, he remained a member of the extended panel for a number of seasons. He won two All-Ireland Championship titles as a non-playing substitute in 2016 and 2019, before claiming his first winners' medal on the field of play in 2020.[4][5] McDaid has also won five Leinster Championships and two National League titles.
