Declan Coulter

Inter-county Coulter made his inter-county debut for Armagh at the age of 17 in 2005. He continued to play for Armagh until 2016. Donegal also defeated Armagh in the closing game of that league campaign, with Coulter contributing 2–1 (including one penalty) to the three-point victory over his former side. Donegal went on to win the 2018 Nicky Rackard Cup, Coulter's first for Donegal and third overall, with Coulter scoring 1–10 (0–4 of which were frees, 0–1 of which was a '65) in the final, a seven-point victory for Donegal. He was later named Nicky Rackard Hurler of the Year. He and fellow Donegal player Stephen Gillespie featured on the Nicky Rackard Team of the Year. Martin Breheny, in the Irish Independent, wrote that Coulter, having outscored teammates of the calibre of Séamus Harnedy (Cork) and Graeme Mulcahy (Limerick), had "made a major statement on behalf of hurlers from lower-ranked counties".

Coulter has expressed his support for the "Team Ulster" concept that would allow Ulster to contest the Liam MacCarthy Cup.

Personal life Having spent several years living in Dublin, Coulter settled in the Finn Valley area of County Donegal. Coulter later married her.
