Shane Dooley (born 26 September 1986) is an Irish hurler who previously played as a right corner-forward for the Offaly senior team.[1]

Born in Tullamore, County Offaly, Dooley came from a strong hurling family. His paternal and maternal granduncles as well as his grandfather experienced All-Ireland JHC success with the Offaly junior team in 1923 and 1929. His father, Joe Dooley, and his uncles, Johnny and Billy Dooley, won seven All-Ireland SHC medals between them between 1985 and 1998.[2]

Dooley first played competitive inter-county hurling and Gaelic football with Tullamore College. Here he won a Leinster Vocational Schools Junior B Championship medal and an All-Ireland Vocational Schools Championship medal. Dooley simultaneously came to prominence at juvenile and underage levels with the Tullamore club. As a dual player at senior level he won a county hurling championship medal and three senior football championship medals. While studying at the University of Limerick, Dooley won a Fitzgibbon Cup medal in 2011.

Dooley made his debut on the inter-county scene as a dual player when he was selected for the Offaly minor teams. He later lined out for the Offaly under-21 teams in both codes before concentrating on hurling after making his senior debut during the 2007 league. After that, Dooley became a regular member of the starting fifteen, as well as Offaly's all-time championship top scorer.

A member of the Leinster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, Dooley won a Railway Cup medal in 2012.

In December 2023, Dooley announced his retirement from inter-county hurling after 17 years of play.[3][4]
