Career

edit

Corcoran played hurling while in secondary school at St Brendan's Community School in Birr.[1] He began his club career in the juvenile and underage ranks with Coolderry, before eventually progressing to adult level. Corcoran won the first of four Offaly SHC medals in 2010, before claiming a Leinster Club SHC title in 2011.[2] He was in goal when Coolderry lost the 2012 All-Ireland club final to Loughgiel Shamrocks.[3]

Corcoran first appeared on the inter-county scene for Offaly as goalkeeper with the under-21 team in 2011.[4] His progression to the senior team took nearly a decade, making his debut in a National Hurling League defeat of Wicklow in 2020.[5] Corcoran was sub-goalkeeper when Offaly beat Derry to win the Christy Ring Cup in 2021.[6] He was again sub-goalkeeper when Offaly claimed the Joe McDonagh Cup title after beating Laois in the 2024 final.[7]
