He began with the Eadestown club and played with the Donegal club in New York during the 1980s, then settled in County Cork in 1987 and spent the rest of his 20-year club career with Castlehaven, captaining it to the 1989 Cork title and winning three Munster club championships. He played for Kildare as a teenager before joining Cork, whom he captained to the 1990 All-Ireland Championship after winning a first medal as centre-forward in 1989. A three-time All Star, he also played for Leinster and Munster in the Railway Cup and was picked on the Kildare and Cork Teams of the Millennium. Regarded as Cork's greatest centre-forward, he later coached and managed, most notably the Cork senior team.
