Fan favourite ‘Walshy’ started his playing career for his local side, Galway Hibs, before being signed by Galway United for the first time. He then went to Mervue United and played for the club for two years. 2025 will be his twelfth season for the club, having played 333 times which puts him as the joint 2nd highest Galway United appearance holder of all-time.

Walsh came back for a second time to Galway United for three years before having spells with Longford Town and Athlone Town. When returning to United again in 2019, he was awarded the club captaincy. Walsh went back to Hibs in 2020 before returning back to United in 2021 and ever since that he has had a transformational change, going from primarily a left sided defender into a goal scoring machine with a record of fifty for the club.

Stephen Walsh has returned for 2025 and there will be plenty more announcements as we look to continue building our squad for next season. Keep an eye out on our social media for updates!
