Playing career

Club

[edit]

Egan plays his club hurling with Belmont.

Inter-county

[edit]

Egan has lined out in all grades for Offaly. He started in 2007 as a member of the county's minor hurling team before subsequently joining the Offaly under-21 team.[2][3] In 2008 he lined out in the Leinster under-21 decider, however, Kilkenny won that game easily.[citation needed]

Egan was just out of the under-21 grade when he joined the Offaly senior hurling team in 2011.[4] He made his debut as a substitute in a National Hurling League game against Kilkenny, however, he failed to secure a place on the starting fifteen. Egan made his championship debut at wing-forward against Dublin in 2011.[citation needed]

Media career

[edit]

In 2016, Egan and his family competed in the fourth series of the popular RTÉ reality competition, Ireland's Fittest Family.[5] They were eliminated in the first round of the competition.
