Career

Phelan first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Conahy Shamrocks club. He later played with University College Dublin in the Fitzgibbon Cup.[2] After progressing to adult club level, Phelan was at right wing-forward when Conahy Shamrocks beat Russell Rovers to win the All-Ireland Club JHC title in 2020.[3] He added a Kilkenny JHC medal to his collection later that year.[4]

Having never played minor hurling at inter-county level, Phelan first appeared for Kilkenny as a member of the under-21 panel in 2015.[5] He later progressed to the intermediate team and won an All-Ireland IHC medal after a defeat of Cork in 2017.[6] After a number of years out of the inter-county scene, Phelan was drafted onto the senior team in 2022. He has since won back-to-back Leinster SHC medals.[7]
