On July 10, 2009, McCarthy returned to the North America when he was signed by the Anaheim Ducks on a one-year contract.[2] However, on September 24, before ever playing a game with the Ducks prior to the 2009-10 season McCarthy was traded back to Atlanta, for future considerations.[3]
On October 1, 2010, McCarthy, went back to Europe, signing with TPS, whose squad had been decimated by injuries in defence. He played 32 games in his only season for the team.
