Niall Moran (born 1 March 1983) is an Irish hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Limerick senior team.
Born in Castleconnell, County Limerick, Moran first played competitive hurling whilst at Ardscoil Rís. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of eighteen when he first linked up with the Limerick minor team, before later lining out with the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in the 2003 championship. Moran went on to play a key part in the forwards for a decade, and won one Munster medal and one National Hurling League (Division 2) medal. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.[citation needed]
As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team at various times, Moran won one Railway Cup medal in 2007. At club level he won two championship medals with Ahane.[citation needed]
Moran's career tally of 7 goals and 97 points ranks him as Limerick's sixth highest championship scorer of all-time.[citation needed]
Throughout his career Moran made 44 championship appearances, making one of Limerick's most "capped" player of all-time. He announced his retirement from inter-county hurling on 14 December 2013.[1][2]
His brothers, Ollie and James, have also played with Limerick.[citation needed]
Moran has also become involved in team management and coaching. He has served as manager and selector with various hurling teams at Ardscoil Rís.[3]
