During his spell at Oriel Park McGrath won the 1964-65 LFA President's Cup. He moved to Drumcondra F.C. in March 1966 making his debut against his former club. He played twice against Eintracht Frankfurt in the 1966–67 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.
On 5 June 1966 at Dalymount Park Joe played in the first ever Republic of Ireland U23 game. He was also an amateur international.
In November 1966 McGrath moved to Limerick F.C. and scored twice on his debut on the 20th.
A fully qualified UEFA coach, he took over as Irish Youths team coach in 1985 in succession to Liam Tuohy (footballer) and was later appointed FAI Director of Coaching.
