James Regan (born 7 February 1991 in Loughrea, County Galway) is an Irish sportsperson. He plays hurling with his local club Loughrea and has been a member of the Galway senior inter-county team since 2011.[1]
Playing career
Club
Regan plays his club hurling with St Thomas'. He made his senior debut in 2006 while he was still an underage player.
In 2011 Loughrea qualified for a second consecutive county championship final. Regan came on as a substitute, however, after an exciting draw and a replay victory went to Clarinbridge.[2]
Inter-county
Regan first played for Galway at minor level in 2009. It was a successful year for the young Tribesmen as they reached the All-Ireland final. Kilkenny provided the opposition, however, Galway won by 2-15 to 2-11 giving Regan a coveted All-Ireland medal.[3]
The following year Regan joined the county under-21 team. Once again Galway reached the All-Ireland final where Tipperary provided the opposition. That game ended in a rout as Tipp won by 5-22 to 0-12.[4]
Regan made his senior championship debut when he came on as a substitute against Clare in an All-Ireland qualifier in 2011.
