Tobin enjoyed a decade-long club career with Urlingford, however, he enjoyed little in terms of championship success.

After being selected for the Kilkenny senior team in 1920, Tobin held his position on the team for the following five championship seasons. He won his first Leinster medal in 1922 before later winning his sole All-Ireland medal after Kilkenny's defeat of Tipperary in the final. Tobin won a second Leinster medal in 1923.

Tobin was married to Anastatia (née Talbot) and had nine children.[2] He died on 12 July 1978.
