[10] The club's manager Ray Lewington said about McNamee in September 2002, saying: "I would agree with that and they did quite well. He is going to be the worst-kept secret. They showed him inside, which I would do if I was playing against him and that makes the crosses a little bit flatter. We have to work with him so that if he does come inside, he knows what to do then. That is part of his education." [11] For the remaining 2002–03 season, McNamee continued to feature in and out of the first team. [12] At the end of the 2002–03 season, he went on to make twenty–two appearances in all competitions.

[10] The club's manager Ray Lewington said about McNamee in September 2002, saying: "I would agree with that and they did quite well. He is going to be the worst-kept secret. They showed him inside, which I would do if I was playing against him and that makes the crosses a little bit flatter. We have to work with him so that if he does come inside, he knows what to do then. That is part of his education." [11] For the remaining 2002–03 season, McNamee continued to feature in and out of the first team. [12] At the end of the 2002–03 season, he went on to make twenty–two appearances in all competitions.

[40] At the start of the 2008–09 season, McNamee continued to regain his first team place for the side. [41] But the club's results were struggling, as well as, his own form, which resulted in him being dropped to the substitute bench for the number of matches. [42] By mid–October, McNamee soon regained his place in the starting eleven. [43] Under the new management of Danny Wilson, McNamee found himself on the substitute bench for several months. [44] Manager Wilson explained his decision to drop McNamme on the substitute bench, citing low confidence.

[46] [35] At the end of the 2008–09 season, McNamme went on to make forty–seven appearances in all competitions. [35]

At the start of the 2009–10 season, McNamee found himself competing with new signing Tope Obadeyi over the left–wing position, which resulted in him in the substitute bench in number of matches. [35] [47] But he soon regained his place in the starting eleven. [35] [48] His form continued into the start of the season, as rumours circulated that scouts across the country had their eyes on three Swindon Town players, Peter Brezovan, Simon Cox and Anthony McNamee. [49] Among interested was Norwich City, but Manager Wilson refused to sell him, insisting that he's "going nowhere". [50] Amid the transfer speculation, McNamee scored his first goal in seventeen months, in a 4–3 win over Exeter City in the Football League Trophy campaign on 6 October 2009. [51] Then on 31 October 2009, he scored again, in a 4–1 win over Tranmere Rovers. [52] On 26 November 2009, local newspaper Swindon Advertiser reported that McNamee was absent from training amid a loan move to Norwich City.

[62] He then set up two goals that contributed wins for Norwich City: the first assist occurred on 21 August 2010 against Swansea City and the second assist occurred on 11 September 2010 against Barnsley. [63] In mid–October, McNamee received a handful of first team football, which saw him make four starts. [64] During a 2–2 draw against Burnley on 6 November 2010, he came on as a substitute and his performance in the full–back position throughout the match was praised by team-mate Russell Martin. [65] Later in the 2010–11 season, McNamee found his first team opportunities limited and spent the rest of the season on the substitute bench. [66] At the end of the 2010–11 season, he went on to make twenty appearances in all competitions.
