Playing career
[edit]Club
[edit]Coffey plays his club hurling with the St Mary's club while he also plays Gaelic football with the Sliabh gCua club.
In 2011 he won a junior football championship medal with Sliabh gCua.[1]
Inter-county
[edit]Coffey first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Waterford minor hurling team in 2001.[2] He enjoyed little success in this grade.
Coffey made his senior debut for Waterford in a National League game against Laois in 2004. He played a number of games during that campaign; however, he played no part in Waterford's successful Munster campaign later that season.
In 2007 he won a National League medal as a non-playing substitute when Waterford defeated Kilkenny by 0-20 to 0-18 in the final.[3]
The following year Coffey was an unused substitute as Waterford faced a heavy 3-30 to 1-13 defeat by Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final.[4]
