He made his debut for Ireland in June 1994 against the MCC.[2] His List A debut came the following year in a Benson and Hedges Cup match against Surrey.[3] His only first-class match was against Scotland in August 1996.[4]
He was then absent from the Irish team for almost four years[2] before making a comeback in the ICC Emerging Nations tournament in Zimbabwe in April 2000. Later that year, he played in the European Championship,[5] the match against Italy being his twelfth and, to date, last match for Ireland.[2]
