Born in Craughwell, County Galway, Monaghan first played competitive hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Craughwell club. He was educated at and played hurling with Athenry Vocational School before studying at Mary Immaculate College. Here Monaghan won back-to-back Fitzgibbon Cup medals.

Monaghan made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he was selected for the Galway minor team. His tenure with the minor team culminated with the winning of an All-Ireland medal in 2015. He subsequently joined the Galway under-21 team but has so far been an All-Ireland runner-up in this grade. Monaghan made his senior debut for Galway during the 2017 Walsh Cup. Since then he has won one All-Ireland medal, one Leinster medal and one National Hurling League medal.[3][4]

gollark: The time machine one does exist and might slightly mess things up.
gollark: The game lets me have persistent state (or at least doesn't strictly forbid it), so I'm sure something could be done with that.
gollark: Tit-for-tat.
gollark: Anyway, I could probably maybe calculate when the best time to try and separate a grudger, TFT and angel is, *or* I could wildly gueß.
