Career

Malone first played hurling to a high standard as a student at St. Flannan's College in Ennis. He lined out for the college in all grades, including the Harty Cup. [2] Malone later played with the University of Limerick in the Fitzgibbon Cup. [3]

At club level, Malone first enjoyed success as a Gaelic footballer with the Ennistymon club, winning a Clare U21AFC medal in 2010. [4] The absence of a senior hurling team in Ennistymon resulted in Malone joining the Sixmilebridge club. He has since won four Clare SHC medals. [5]

Malone first appeared on the inter-county scene with Clare at minor level. He was right wing-forward on the team beaten by Kilkenny in the 2010 All-Ireland minor final. [6] Malone progressed to the under-21 team and won back-to-back All-Ireland U21HC medals as a substitute in 2012 and on the field of play in 2013. [7] [8]

Malone was just a year out of the under-21 grade when he was drafted onto the senior team. He was a member of the Clare team that won the National League title in 2016. [9] Malone was nominated for All-Stars in 2020 and 2021. [10]
