Career

Phelan first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Conahy Shamrocks club. He later played with University College Dublin in the Fitzgibbon Cup.

He added a Kilkenny JHC medal to his collection later that year.

Having never played minor hurling at inter-county level, Phelan first appeared for Kilkenny as a member of the under-21 panel in 2015.
