At club level, Gollogly represented Carrickmacross Emmets from juvenile ranks through to the senior team.[6] In 2008, he was part of the Emmets team that won their first Monaghan Senior Football League title.[10] He retired from club football in 2023.[11] He coached the club's youth team.[12]

In 2005, Gollogly was a member of the Monaghan side that won the National Football League Division 2 title and reached the Ulster Senior Football Championship final, losing narrowly to Tyrone.[4] He featured in the 2007 All-Ireland SFC quarter-final, in which Monaghan lost to Kerry by a single point.[6]

Gollogly won his first Ulster SFC medal in 2013, helping Monaghan end a 25-year title drought.[4] That same season, Monaghan won the National Football League Division 3 title.[4] He added a second Division 2 league title in 2014 and a second Ulster SFC title in 2015.[4]

Gollogly retired from inter-county football in December 2017.[4]
