That year, Robins won the U.S. 1921 National Challenge Cup 4–2 over J&P Coats with McGuire scoring two of Robins four goals.^[1] In 1921, the American Soccer League replaced the NAFBL and Robins entered the new league as Todd Shipyards. Robins Dry Dock was part of the larger Todd Shipyard. Todd Shipyards lasted only one season before folding and McGuire moved to Paterson F.C. However, before folding, Todd went to the 1922 National Challenge Cup final where it fell, 3–2 to St. Louis Scullin Steel. McGuire again scored two goals.^[2] McGuire once again spent only one year with his new club, Paterson. However, in 1923, he went to his third consecutive Challenge Cup, winning it again this year.^[3] McGuire then moved to the New Bedford Whalers for the 1924–1925 season before closing out his career with Brooklyn Wanderers in 1925–1926.
