Born in Aghabullogue, County Cork in 1863, Drew was educated at the local national school and later worked as a railway guard with the Cork and Muskerry Light Railway.[citation needed]

Drew first played competitive hurling with the Aghabullogue club and won his sole county senior championship medal in 1890. This success allowed the club to represent Cork in the inter-county championship and Drew was a key member of the forwards. He won his first All-Ireland medal in 1890.[1] Drew returned to the Cork team in 1892 and, along with his team-mate Pat Buckley, became the first players to win two All-Ireland medals on the field of play. He also won two Munster medals. Drew played his last game for Cork in March 1892.

Drew died on 8 July 1923 following a railway accident.
