Joseph Brady (born 12 July 1982) is an Irish former Hurler. At club level, he played with Coolderry and at inter-county level with the Offaly senior hurling team.
Career
Brady attended Waterford Institute of Technology and was part of their Fitzgibbon Cup-winning team in 2003.[1]
At club level, Brady first played hurling for Coolderry at juvenile and underage levels. He progressed to adult level and won his first Offaly SHC medal in 2004, following a 3–10 to 2–11 win over Birr in the final.[2] Brady won back-to-back Offaly SHC medals in 2010 and 2011.[3][4] He later claimed a Leinster Club SHC title and lined out at centre-back in Coolderry's defeat by Loughgiel Shamrocks in the 2012 All-Ireland club final.[5][6] Brady ended his club career after winning further Offaly SHC titles in 2015 and 2018.[7][8]
Brady first appeared on the inter-county scene for Offaly as a member of the minor team in 2000 and won a Leinster MHC medal that year.[9] He also spent four consecutive years with the under-21 team after making his first appearance while still a minor. Brady made his senior team debut in a National Hurling League game against Galway in February 2001.[10] He won Division 2 medals in 2005 and 2009.[11] A series of injuries brought Brady's inter-county career to an end in 2011.[12]
