Mackay-Steven is an experienced left-footed winger who can play on both sides of the pitch and strengthens NYCFC's attacking options.
INTERNATIONAL: Mackay-Steven has won two caps, making his debut in 2013. In October 2018, he ended a five-year wait for a second senior international cap, assisting a goal as a second half substitute for Scotland vs. Portugal at Hampden Park.
OUTSIDE MLS: Mackay-Steven’s youth career began in 2007 at Ross County, before spells in Fulham and Liverpool’s Academy setups led to a move to Airdrie United where he made his professional debut in 2011.
