Brian Hurley (born 2 April 1992) is an Irish Gaelic footballer. At club level he plays with Castlehaven and at inter-county level with the Cork senior football team.

Career

Hurley first played Gaelic football as a six-year-old at juvenile level with the Castlehaven club.[1] [2] He progressed through the various juvenile and underage grades, while he also played as a schoolboy with Rossa College in Skibbereen. Hurley's performances at school level resulted in him being selected for the Cork vocational schools' team and he won All-Ireland VS SFC honours in 2010 after a defeat of Monaghan.[3]

Hurley had just turned 17 when he made his senior team debut with Castlehaven in 2009. He has his first major success a year later when Castlehaven beat Ballincollig to win the Cork U21AFC title. Consecutive Cork SFC titles followed for Hurley in 2012 and 2013.[4] [5] He claimed a third winners' medal in 2023 before ending the season with a Munster Club SFC title.[6]

At inter-county level, Hurley first played for Cork during a two-year tenure with the minor team. His final game in the grade was an All-Ireland final defeat by Tyrone in 2010.[7] Hurley's three-year tenure with the under-21 team yielded three successive Munster U21FC medals, however, his last game was, once again, an All-Ireland final defeat.[8]

Hurley made his senior team debut in 2013, having joined the extended panel a year earlier.[9] Since then he has been an eight-time Munster SFC runners-up. Hurley was also a member of Munster's Railway Cup panel in 2014, while he has also been an All-Star nominee.[10] [11]
