Born in London, England, Foley was introduced to hurling when his family relocated to Patrickswell, County Limerick. His father, John Foley, was an All-Ireland medal winner in the junior grade with Limerick in 1941. Foley enjoyed All-Ireland success with the CBS Sexton Street team in 1966, while simultaneously joining the Patrickswell senior team.[1] In a club career that spanned 25 years he won two Munster medals and eleven county senior championship medals. Foley was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
Foley enjoyed an unsuccessful underage career at minor and under-21 levels with Limerick before making his senior debut during the 1970-71 league. Over the course of the next thirteen seasons he won one All-Ireland medal as Limerick won the title after a long absence in 1973.[2] Foley also won four Munster medals, one National Hurling League medal and was chosen as an All-Star in 1973. He played his last game for Limerick in June 1983.[citation needed]
Foley was chosen on the Munster inter-provincial team for four consecutive years between 1972 and 1975, however, he failed to win a Railway Cup medal.[citation needed]
