He played hurling with his local club Birr and was a member of the Offaly senior inter-county team between 1989 and 1999.

Regan played his club hurling with his local club in Birr. His playing career coincided with a great period of success for the club. In 1991 Regan captured his first senior county championship winners’ medal. It was Birr’s first county final triumph in twenty years. Birr later represented Offaly in the provincial club championship. A huge defeat of Ballyhale Shamrocks in the provincial final gave Regan a Leinster club winners’ medal. Birr later qualified for the All-Ireland final, however, Kiltormer of Galway were the winners by 0-15 to 1-8.
In 1994 Regan captured a second county championship title before later adding a second Leinster club winners’ medal to his collection following a victory in a replay over Oulart the Ballagh. Birr later qualified for a second All-Ireland, this time with Dunloy providing the opposition. That game ended in a draw; however, Birr completely dominated the replay. A full-time score of 3-13 to 2-3 gave Regan an All-Ireland club winners’ medal.
In 1997 Regan added a third county championship title to his collection before later winning a third Leinster club winners’ medal following a victory over Castletown of Laois. Birr later qualified for a third All-Ireland final, this time with Sarsfield’s providing the opposition. Birr commanded the game and took the lead from early on. At the full-time whistle the Offaly men had secured a 1-13 to 0-9 victory, giving Regan a second All-Ireland club medal.
