Career
[edit]Troy first played hurling to a high standard as a student at Coláiste Choilm in Tullamore. After progressing through the juvenile and underage ranks as an outfield player with the Ballinamere club, he made his senior team debut in 2021.[1] Troy has also lined out for SETU Carlow in the Fitzgibbon Cup.[2]
Troy first appeared on the inter-county scene during a spell with the Offaly minor hurling team, which culminated with a defeat by Kilkenny in the 2020 Leinster minor final.[3] He immediately progressed to the under-20 team and was in goal when they lost the 2023 All-Ireland under-20 final to Cork.[4]
Troy made his senior team debut in a defeat by Carlow in a National Hurling League game against Wexford in 2024, and quickly established himself as first-choice goalkeeper.[5] He won a Joe McDonagh Cup medal in his debut season after a defeat of Laois in the final.[6]
