Career

McGuigan played competitive hurling while a student at St Patrick's College, and also played at juvenile and underage levels with the Slaughtneil club.[citation needed] He progressed to adult level and was part of Slaughtneil's run of 12 successive Derry SHC titles. McGuigan captained Slaughtneil to their 12th success in 2024.[2] He has also won four Ulster SHC Club medals.[3]

McGuigan first appeared on the inter-county scene for Derry during two years with the minor team.[4] He later lined out with the under-21 team, including one season as team captain.[5] McGuigan joined the senior team in 2016.[6] He was a member of the extended panel when Derry won the Nicky Rackard Cup in 2017.[7] McGuigan continued to line out with Derry until their defeat by Offaly in the 2021 Christy Ring Cup final.[8]
