Career

Hand played hurling at all grades as a student at Coláiste Naomh Cormac. He was amongst the scorers when the school team beat Hamilton High School to claim the All-Ireland PPS SBHC title in 2023. Hand's performances for the school resulted in his inclusion on the combined Offaly Schools team which also won the Leinster PPS SAHC in 2023. He has also lined out for the Garda College in the Fitzgibbon Cup.

After progressing through the juvenile and underage ranks with the Kilcormac–Killoughey club, Hand made his adult debut with the club's second team in 2023. He ended the season with an Offaly SBHC medal. Hand immediately made the step up to the club's top senior team and won consecutive Offaly SHC medals in 2024 and 2025.

Hand first appeared on the inter-county scene for Offaly as a member of the minor team. His last game in the grade was a defeat by Tipperary in the 2022 All-Ireland MHC final. Hand later progressed to the under-20 team and collected an All-Ireland U20HC winners' medal after beating Tipperary by 2-20 to 2-14 in the 2024 All-Ireland U20HC final.

Hand made his senior team debut during the 2026 National Hurling League.
