Super League

McGuire missed the Broncos' 2007 World Club Challenge appearance due to his move to France to play in the Super League for Catalans Dragons. Having initially started playing Шаблон:Rlp at Catalans Dragons, McGuire increasingly found himself playing at Шаблон:Rlp and sharing much of the creative responsibilities with Adam Mogg and Thomas Bosc. had also been named in the France squad for the Four Nations tournament, qualifying under the three-year residency rule, but did not play.

Return to Australia

McGuire returned to Australia and the club where he made his NRL comeback with his first club, the Parramatta Eels for the 2011 season, playing as Шаблон:Rlp. McGuire played 21 games in 2011 for Parramatta as the club narrowly avoided the wooden spoon.

A pectoral muscle injury during the 2012 NRL season put the remainder of McGuire's playing career in doubt. McGuire returned for Parramatta in their final game of the season which came against St. George Illawarra in round 26 at ANZ Stadium. It was also the final game for retiring Parramatta players Nathan Hindmarsh and Luke Burt. Parramatta would go on to lose the match 29-8 and the club finished last for the first time since 1972. The game was subsequently McGuire's last in the top grade.
