Born in Kilbeacanty, County Galway, Donoghue first excelled at hurling whilst at school in Gort Community School. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Galway minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in the 2012 National Hurling League. Donoghue went on to play a key part for Galway over the following two seasons, and won one Leinster medal. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion. He was also nominated for an All Star this year.Throughout his career Donoghue made 8 championship appearances.
As a member of the Connacht inter-provincial team for two successive years, Donoghue unsuccessfully contested two Railway Cup finals. At club level he played with Kilbeacanty.
Donoghue was found in his home on 23 October 2013, 3 days before his 23rd birthday.[1][2] His death brought the topic of suicide into public consciousness.[4] His funeral was attended by a large number of mourners from the GAA community across the country, including Donohoe's Galway teammates. A number of other figures in the GAA such as Kilkenny manager Brian Cody and association president Liam O'Neill called to the Donohoe family home to pay their respects.[5][6]
