Early life

Born and raised in Lisgoold, County Cork, Healy played hurling at all levels as a student at Midleton CBS. He progressed through the various competitions, including the Dean Ryan Cup, and eventually lined out for the senior team in the Dr Harty Cup. [2] [3] Healy later studied at Munster Technological University Cork and was added to their Fitzgibbon Cup panel in 2025. [4]

Club career

Healy began his club career at juvenile and underage levels as a dual player with the Lisgoold club, before progressing to adult level in 2022. [5] He claimed his first silverware as a Gaelic footballer in 2023 when Lisgoold beat Carrignavar by 2–09 to 0–10 to win the East Cork JAFC for the very first time. [6] Healy won a Cork IAHC medal in November 2024 after scoring four points in the 2–18 to 2–13 replay defeat of Erin's Own. [7]

Healy was just 18-years-old when he also earned a call-up to the Imokilly divisional team in 2022. [8] He won a Cork PSHC medal in October 2024 after lining out at centre-forward in Imokilly's 1–23 to 0–17 win over Sarsfields in the final. [9]

Inter-county career

Healy first played for Cork as a member of the minor team during their unsuccessful Munster MHC campaign in 2020. [10] He was still eligible for the minor grade the following year and scored four points from wing-forward in the 1–23 to 0–12 defeat of Galway in the 2021 All-Ireland MHC final. [11] Healy immediately progressed to the under-20 team and added an All-Ireland U20HC title to his collection after lining out at wing-forward in the 2–22 to 3–13 defeat of Offaly in the 2023 All-Ireland U20 final. [12]

Following the completion of his three-year tenure with the under-20 team, Healy was included on Cork's senior panel in February 2025. [13] He first appeared for the team when he was listed amongst the substitutes for Cork's group stage game against Limerick during the 2025 National Hurling League. [14] Healy ended the league campaign with a winners' medal after coming on as a substitute in Cork's win over Tipperary in the final. [15] He later claimed a Munster SHC medal after lining out at wing-forward in Cork's penalty shootout defeat of Limerick in the 2025 Munster final. [16]
