Football career

Inter-county

McIver represented Derry at Minor and Under 21 level. He was captain of the Under 21 side in 2007.[1] He was first called up to the Derry Senior football panel during the 2007 Championship for cover, but didn't play in any games. He worked his way into the Derry team in the 2008 National League campaign.

He was part of the Derry team that won the 2008 National League, when Derry defeated Kerry in the final.[3][4] His championship debut came later in 2008 against Donegal, who were ironically managed by his father Brian.
