He left Luton to step up a Division for Sheffield Wednesday where he played 96 games and scored six goals.
He turned down a contract offer, however, by Chris Turner after the club's relegation and subsequent failure to gain promotion to The Championship.
He turned down a new contract offer from Tranmere and instead, on 1 July 2008, signed a two-year deal with League Two club Bradford City.
[5] On 26 November 2010, McLaren decided to leave Tranmere Rovers as he wasn't enjoying the type of football they were playing.
