Playing career
Club
Regan plays his club hurling with St Thomas'. He made his senior debut in 2006 while he was still an underage player.
Inter-county
Regan first played for Galway at minor level in 2009. It was a successful year for the young Tribesmen as they reached the All-Ireland final. Kilkenny provided the opposition, however, Galway won by 2-15 to 2-11 giving Regan an All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship medal.[2]
The following year Regan joined the county under-21 team. Once again Galway reached the All-Ireland final where Tipperary provided the opposition. That game ended in a rout as Tipp won by 5-22 to 0-12.[3]
Regan made his senior championship debut when he came on as a substitute against Clare in an All-Ireland qualifier in 2011.
