Born in Sydney, New South Wales, McInnes attended Marist College Pagewood and he topped the school in the 2011 HSC for Biology, Business Studies and English.[2] He played his junior football for the Botany Rams before being signed by the South Sydney Rabbitohs. He played for the Rabbitohs' NYC team from 2012 to 2014 before moving on to the Rabbitohs' New South Wales Cup team, North Sydney Bears three rounds into 2014.

2014
In Round 5 of the 2014 NRL season, McInnes made his NRL debut for the Rabbitohs against the St. George Illawarra Dragons.[5] In Round 11, McInnes scored his first ever NRL try (against the Cronulla Sutherland Sharks), slicing through defenders 10m out to plant the ball the down.
2015
McInnes was selected twelve times in 2015, playing off the bench, at Hooker and even at times in the back-row. In Round 11, McInnes scored the winning try against the Parramatta Eels, latching onto a pass from fellow hooker, Isaac Luke, before diving over the try-line. On 13 May 2015, McInnes re-signed with the Rabbitohs on a 2-year contract.[6]
2016
The departure of Isaac Luke to the New-Zealand Warriors gave McInnes the starting role for the Rabbitohs. In Round One he opened the scoring, diving under the posts five minutes into the Rabbitohs 42-10 win over the Sydney Roosters. In Round 5, McInnes was credited with a 'stellar' performance, creating all three tries for the Rabbitohs. After scoring two solo tries from dummy half, he then put five-eighth, Cody Walker through a hole to score in the Rabbitohs 12-16 win over the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles.
