During his time at The Doonhammers, McLauchlan went out on loan to both Montrose and Arbroath. After making seven league appearances for Queen of the South, McLauchlan moved to Brechin City, joining up with manager Jim Weir for a third time.[3] In May 2015, McLauchlan signed for Ayr United after five years with Brechin City,[4] however after only one season with the Honest Men, McLauchlan was released.[5]

In July 2016, McLauchlan signed for recently relegated Scottish League Two side Cowdenbeath.[6] McLauchlan played for one season at Cowdenbeath as the club fought off a relegation battle.[7]

After playing a season in the juniors for Pollok, McLauchlan would once again play in the SPFL after returning to Brechin City in January 2021.[8]
