Born in Newtownshandrum, County Cork, Naughton first excelled at hurling during his schooling at Charleville CBS. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of sixteen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut during the 2006 National Hurling League. Naughton went on to play a key role for Cork and won one Munster medal as a non-playing substitute. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.

Throughout his career Naughton made 36 championship appearances for Cork. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 2013 championship.[2][3]
Playing career
Soccer
Naughton enjoyed a successful soccer career with Charleville A.F.C. with whom he won many honours and also played with the Limerick Schoolboy League in the Kennedy Cup. He spent a year at the Nottingham Forest F.C. academy in his teens and he was offered a contract with the club but declined the offer in favour of continuing his education at home. He was also invited to try out for Manchester City F.C.. At home, Naughton played representative soccer with Ireland on four occasions at under-17 level.[4]
Colleges
In 2005 Naughton was captain of the Charleville CBS senior hurling team. He won a Munster Colleges Senior B Hurling Championship medal following a 3-9 to 0-8 defeat of St. Clement's College.[5] Charleville CBS later faced Enniscorthy CBS in the All-Ireland decider. Two goals by Paul O'Neill and substitute David Murphy in a twenty minute period of extra time, allied to an goalkeeping performance from Niall Maher, were the decisive factors in Enniscorthy CBS's 3-8 to 0-13 victory.[6]
Club
Naughton plays his club hurling with the Newtownshandrum club in north Cork and has enjoyed much success.
In 2005 Naughton had just turned eighteen-years-old when he won his first county championship winners' medal following a 0-15 to 0-9 defeat of Cloyne.[7] He later collected his first Munster club winners' medal following a one-point defeat of Ballygunner.[8] Naughton's side subsequently qualified for an All-Ireland final showdown with Portumna. A dominant first-half display gave Portumna a 2-8 to 1-6 victory.[9]
Naughton won a second county championship winners' medal in 2009 following a 3-22 to 1-12 trouncing of Sarsfield's.[10] This was later converted into a second Munster title following a 2-11 to 2-9 defeat of Ballygunner.[11]
Inter-county
Naughton first lined out with Cork in the minor grade in 2004. He won his first Munster medal that year as Cork ended Tipperary's hopes of four-in-a-row with a 2-13 to 3-8 victory.[12]
The following year Naughton was still eligible for the Cork minor team as he captured a second consecutive Munster medal following a 2-18 to 1-15 defeat of Limerick.[13] Cronin top scored with 1-10.
Naughton subsequently joined the Cork under-21 team. He won a Munster medal in this grade in 2007 following a 1-20 to 0-10 trouncing of Waterford.
On 9 April 2006 Naughton made his senior debut in an 0-18 to 0-16 National Hurling League defeat by Clare.[14] He was later included on Cork's championship panel, winning a Munster medal as a non-playing substitute following Cork's 2-14 to 1-14 defeat of Tipperary.[15] He made his championship debut on 6 August 2006 in a narrow 1-16 to 1-15 defeat of Waterford. Naughton was surprisingly sprung from the bench in that game and scored 1-1 inside two minutes. His introduction was seen as the winning of the match for Cork.[16] On 3 September 2006 Cork faced Kilkenny in the All-Ireland decider. Neither side took a considerable lead, however, Kilkenny had a vital goal from Aidan Fogarty. Cork were in arrears coming into the final few minutes, however, Ben O'Connor goaled for Cork. Naughton was introduced as a substitute once again, however, he failed to repeat the heroics of the semi-final as the Cats denied the Rebels the three-in-a-row on a score line of 1-16 to 1-13.[17]
Naughton lined out in his second Munster decider as a substitute in 2013, however, Cork faced a 0-24 to 0-15 defeat by Limerick.[18] On 8 September 2013 he lined out against Clare in his first All-Ireland final. Three second-half goals through Conor Lehane, Anthony Nash and Pa Cronin, and a tenth point of the game from Patrick Horgan gave Cork a one-point lead as injury time came to an end. A last-gasp point from corner-back Domhnall O'Donovan earned Clare a 0-25 to 3-16 draw.[19] The replay on 28 September was regarded as one of the best in recent years. Clare's Shane O'Donnell was a late addition to the team, and went on to score a hat-trick of goals in the first nineteen minutes of the game. Patrick Horgan top scored for Cork, however, further goals from Conor McGrath and Darach Honan secured a 5-16 to 3-16 victory for Clare.[20]
