McStravick was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He started playing youth football with Cliftonville under the mentorship of the former Northern Ireland youth international Marc Smyth. In 2022, he joined Linfield and signed his first professional contract. In 2023, he moved to sign for Airdrieonians in Scotland for an undisclosed amount. He scored his first professional goal in November 2023 against Arbroath. In 2024, McStravick scored the equalising goal for Airdrieonians against The New Saints in the 2024 Scottish Challenge Cup final, which Airdrieonians won to give him his first senior medal.

Due to the nature of his injury requiring surgery, Airdrieonians permitted him to return to Northern Ireland to undergo rehabilitation with the physio of Larne. He later returned to Scotland to take part in Airdrieonians' social programmes in February 2025. He returned to playing in March 2025, coming off the bench and scoring an equaliser against Livingstone.
