Troy first played hurling at club level with the
Newport club in
Tipperary. He later joined the
Claughaun club after moving to
Limerick, and made his first appearances for the team during their
Limerick SHC-winning campaign in 1918. Troy's performances at club level resulted in his inclusion on the
Limerick senior hurling team. He soon won a
Munster SHC medal before lining out in Limerick's defeat 9-05 to 1-03 of
Wexford in the
1918 All-Ireland final. Troy sustained a serious injury during the game which resulted in a prolonged period of absence from both club and inter-county hurling. He won a second Limerick SHC medal in 1926. ==Death==
