At club level he won a set of intermediate and junior championship medals with Lattin-Cullen. English also won a remarkable five successive Fitzgibbon Cup medals with University College Cork.
English's career tally of 20 goals and 117 points marks him out as Tipperary's third highest championship scorer of all-time.
