He first came to notice with the Tipperary minor hurling team in 1951 and captained the side in 1953, winning two Munster and two All-Ireland minor medals. He joined the Tipperary senior team and won a National Hurling League medal in 1954, but was dropped from the panel after a Munster semi-final defeat by Cork in 1956.
