He re-signed for Fleetwood Town on a short-term deal in October 2021.[16] On 14 January 2022, McLaughlin left Fleetwood for a second time following the expiration of his short-term deal, leaving the club as their all-time third highest EFL appearance maker.[17]

On 14 April 2022, McLaughlin announced his retirement "due to injury".[18]
