In college, Magee helped lead Wesleyan University to an ECAC Championship and school-best record of 15–1–1 in 1991. Playing up front with his wing-man Vezir "Fitzwilly" Ajro, the Cardinal 1–2 punch dominated NESCAC soccer in that era, and Magee is the Cardinals all-time leading scorer (35 goals and 85 points), was a NCAA D III All-American in 1992 and is now a member of the Wesleyan University Hall of Fame.[2] Magee played for the Minnesota Thunder for 12 seasons, is its all-time leading scorer, and was inducted into the USL Hall of Fame in 2008.[3] He had several loan stints as a player with Major League Soccer sides, one season with the Tampa Bay Mutiny and two with the Chicago Fire. During his professional career, he played with the likes of Carlos Valderrama, Tony Sanneh, Hristo Stoichkov, Ante Razov and Manny Lagos.

Coaching career

In December 2007, Magee coached the US Maccabi squad to the gold medal of the 2007 Pan American Maccabiah in Buenos Aires. Magee resigned as Thunder manager on July 22, 2008, halfway through the 2008 season.[4] He was succeeded on an interim basis by Don Gramenz.

On November 21, 2008 Magee was inducted into the United Soccer Leagues Hall of Fame. The same day he was also named Director of Soccer Development for the Portland Timbers of the USL First Division.[5]

In the winter of 2013 Magee left the Portland Timbers for family reasons. He soon was hired as the DC United's U-23 Head Coach and assistant to the First Team [6]
