Career
editA member of the Banner club in Ennis, Meehan first came to prominence as a dual player at juvenile and underage levels and as a schoolboy with Rice College. He made his first appearance on the inter-county scene as a dual player with the Clare minor teams in 2018. Meehan captained the minor footballers the following season and was the minor hurling team's top scorer.[1] He ended the 2019 season as Munster Minor Footballer of the Year, while he was also named on the Minor Hurling Team of the Year.[2] Meehan subsequently progressed to under-20 level where he continued as a dual player.[3][4] He joined the Clare senior hurling team in 2021.
On 21 July 2024, he came on as a substitute as Clare won the All-Ireland for the first time in 11 years after an extra-time win against Cork by 3-29 to 1-34, claiming their fifth All-Ireland title.[5][6][7]
