Michael McCarthy is a draftsman by profession and is a former Irish Gaelic footballer for Kerry. He currently plays club football for Kilcummin in county Kerry.
Playing career
McCarthy filled a gap for Kerry, who lacked a specialist full-back of true inter-county class and had been forced to deploy the great half-back Séamus Moynihan in that position before McCarthy claimed the No.3 jersey.
McCarthy won the All-Ireland senior football championship with Kerry on three occasions, in 2000, 2004 and again in 2006. He will be remembered for his total containment of Conor Mortimer during the 2006 final against Mayo, in his final game of inter-county football. It proved to be an easy win for Kerry. Michael won the All-Ireland U21 football championship with Kerry in 1998. He has also won two National Football League (Ireland) division one titles with Kerry in 2004 and 2006. Michael McCarthy has three All-Stars which were awarded in 2000, 2004 and 2005.
