He played club football with Glenamoy and was a member of the Mayo senior county team from 1983 until 1990, joining as reserve goalkeeper in 1985 before taking the starting place. As a schoolboy with Lacken Cross Vocational School he won Mayo and Connacht titles and an All-Ireland vocational schools title in 1982.
