## Playing career

Egan first came to prominence at club and underage levels with the Kiladangan club. He had just progressed onto the top adult team when the club won the All-Ireland Club Championship at intermediate level in 2005. He was sub-goalkeeper when Kiladangan beat Loughmore-Castleiney to win their inaugural County Senior Championship title in 2020. Egan first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Tipperary minor team that won the Munster Minor Championship in 2003 before lining out in the 2006 All-Ireland under-21 final replay defeat by Kilkenny. By this stage he was also a member of the Tipperary senior hurling team after making his debut during the 2005 league. Egan maintained an association with the team for a decade and was a non-playing substitute for their 2010 All-Ireland Championship success. His other honours include two Munster Championship medals and a National Hurling League title.

## Management career

In October 2018, Egan was named by new Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy as a coach of the Tipperary senior hurling team. His first season with the team ended with Tipperary beating Kilkenny in the 2019 All-Ireland final. After the management team stepped down after three seasons in charge, Egan was appointed manager of the Wexford senior hurling team in September 2021.
In July 2023, Egan left his role as Wexford manager after three seasons in charge.
