Career
Cooney first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the O'Callaghan's Mills club. He subsequently progressed to adult level, but enjoyed little success during his career.[1]
Cooney first appeared on the inter-county scene with Clare during a one-year tenure with the minor team in 2005. He was later drafted onto the under-21 team and captained the team to a controversial defeat by Tipperary in the 2008 Munster final.[2] Cooney made the step up the senior team in 2009.[3] He was an unused substitute when Clare won the All-Ireland SHC title after a defeat of Cork in 2013.[4]
