Career

Moynihan first played Gaelic football to a high standard as a schoolboy at St Brendan's College in Killarney. He was part of the school team that won back-to-back Hogan Cup titles in 2016 and 2017, with Moynihan captaining the team for the latter victory.[1][2] He later played with MTU Kerry in the Sigerson Cup.[3]

By that stage, Moynihan had also progressed to adult level with the Spa club, winning a Kerry IFC title in 2020.[4] He had previously lined out with divisional side East Kerry and won back-to-back Kerry SFC medals in 2019 and 2020.[5][6]

Moynihan first appeared on the inter-county scene with Kerry as a member of the minor team that beat Galway in the 2014 All-Ireland minor final.[7] A one-year association with the under-20 team yielded a Munster U20FC medal in 2018.[8]

After his under-20 tenure came to an end, Moynihan was drafted onto the senior team in 2019. He won the first of four Munster SFC medals in five seasons that year.[9] Moynihan was a substitute when Kerry were beaten by Dublin in the 2019 All-Ireland final replay.[10] He won three consecutive National League medals from 2020 to 2022. Moynihan won an All-Ireland SFC medal as a member of the extended panel, after a defeat of Galway in the 2022 final.[11][12]
