Playing career

[2] Egan first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Tipperary minor team that won the Munster Minor Championship in 2003 before lining out in the 2006 All-Ireland under-21 final replay defeat by Kilkenny. [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. [6] [7] His first season with the team ended with Tipperary beating Kilkenny in the 2019 All-Ireland final. [8] After the management team stepped down after three seasons in charge, Egan was appointed manager of the Wexford senior hurling team in September 2021. [9]
