Wade first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the
Galway minor team that beat
Kilkenny to win the
2004 All-Ireland Minor Championship. He was immediately drafted onto the Galway under-21 team and won two
All-Ireland Under-21 Championship titles in three seasons between 2005 and 2007. He subsequently joined the
Galway senior hurling team and made a number of appearances but ultimately ended his senior career without silverware. Wade played his club hurling with
Sarsfields and won a
County Championship title in 2015. ==Honours==
