Playing career A two-time All-Ireland SFC-winner, McMahon started the 2005 All-Ireland SFC final; though he had to be replaced because of injury, he became the first Omagh man to win an All-Ireland SFC title. He also started the 2008 All-Ireland SFC final at number 12, but played most of the game alongside his brother in the back line, helping to hold Kerry's "Twin Towers" of Donaghy and Walsh to 1 point.

2008 was a career-defining year for McMahon, as he was switched between the forwards and backs on the Tyrone side throughout most of the season. In the quarter-final, while being one of a number of Tyrone players sporting a beard for the occasion, he scored a crucial goal against Dublin.

In October 2005, barely a month after his All-Ireland SFC win, McMahon was part of the Omagh St Enda's team that reached the Tyrone Championship final.

Post-playing In 2018, McMahon joined the TTM Radio commentary team as match analyst.
