Early life
McMahon was part of the Omagh CBS MacRory Cup team that shared the title in 2001 (the scheduled replay was abandoned, due to restrictions of crowd gatherings amid a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak), and reached the final in 2002.[1][2]
His younger brother, Justin, was captain of the Tyrone team that won the 2006 Ulster Under-21 Football Championship.
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.[3] 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,[4] he scored a crucial goal against Dublin.[5]
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.[6]

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