The 31st October 2007 Cardiff played Liverpool during the Football League Cup but, with David Forde and on-loan goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel being ineligible, Magennis took a spot on the bench during the game. The decision to play Magennis was controversial due to the fact that Magennis was called up for the Northern Ireland under-19 team but was denied entry into the team under coach Dave Jones due to the necessity to keep the player at Cardiff with only one senior goalkeeper in the squad to play in the game. In April of 2008, he returned to being a striker shortly before his participation in the FAW Welsh Youth Cup final in which he played as substitute.

In addition to his role as goalkeeper Magennis was a regular in his Northern Ireland Under-17 side, in a 2-0 defeat against Scotland under-17’s, and on a substitute basis in a 1-0 defeat against Netherlands under-17’s. The transition to the under-19 team was a result of his switch to the under-19 place and he received his debut on October 8th 2008 in a 3-1 defeat against Serbia under-19’s. Then, in July of 2009 Magennis was instrumental in helping Northern Ireland maintain the Milk Cup crown, scoring the opening strike in the 2-0 victory against Denmark.

Magennis signed his first professional contract on 10 April 2009 for Cardiff City, the only second year academy student to be offered a professional deal, and began working with reserve team coach Paul Wilkinson who had previously coached former Cardiff striker Cameron Jerome in a similar manner. On 8 August 2009, Magennis made his professional debut when he replaced Jay Bothroyd as a late substitute on the opening day of the 2009–10 season in a 4–0 win over Scunthorpe United.
