[3] [4] By this stage he was also a member of the Tipperary senior hurling team after making his debut during the 2005 league. Egan maintained an association with the team for a decade and was a non-playing substitute for their 2010 All-Ireland Championship success. [5] His other honours include two Munster Championship medals and a National Hurling League title.

Management career

In October 2018, Egan was named by new Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy as a coach of the Tipperary senior hurling team.
