Conor Cooney (born 16 June 1987) is an Irish hurler. At club level he plays with O'Callaghan's Mills, while he has also lined out at inter-county level with various Clare teams.

Career

Cooney first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the O'Callaghan's Mills club. He subsequently progressed to adult level, however, he enjoyed little success during his career.[1]

Cooney first appeared on the inter-county scene with Clare during a one-year tenure with the minor team in 2005. He was later drafted onto the under-21 team and captained the team to a controversial defeat by Tipperary in the 2008 Munster final.[2] Cooney made the step up the senior team in 2009.[3] He was an unused substitute when Clare won the All-Ireland SHC title after a defeat of Cork in 2013.[4]
