Ciarán Sheehan (born 19 November 1990 in Farran, County Cork, Ireland) is an Irish sportsman.
Born in Farran, County Cork, Sheehan was educated at Scoil Naomh Mhuire Fearann in the village before later attending Coachford Community College for 3 years and then Coláiste Choilm in nearby Ballincollig.
Here he played on the school football team, winning Cork colleges and Munster honours in all grades.
Two years later, Sheehan added a Cork Minor A Hurling Championship medal to his collection after defeating Erin's Own in the final.
It took a late goal from Colm O'Driscoll to secure a 1–13 to 2–9 victory for Cork and an All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship medal for Sheehan.
Sheehan made his senior debut for Cork when he came on as a substitute against Dublin in a National League game in 2010.
By the end of the campaign he had established himself at full-forward and went on to win a National League title with a 1–17 to 0–12 defeat of Mayo in the final.
[18] Sheehan had previously trialed with Carlton during 2009 without signing a contract, but re-opened discussions with the club following the 2013 International Rules series.
[19] Sheehan joined fellow Gaelic footballers Zach Tuohy of Laois and Ciarán Byrne of Louth, both at Carlton.
[20] However, recurring hamstring injuries hampered the rest of his career, and he managed only two more senior games over the next three years before being delisted at the end of 2017.
