Born in Gortnahoe, County Tipperary, Moriarty first played competitive hurling with Gortnahoe–Glengoole, with whom he won a Mid-Tipperary junior championship medal. After emigrating to London Moriarty played for the Young Irelands team before being headhunted by the St. Gabriel's club. After returning to Ireland he joined the Fenains club in Johnstown. In a career than spanned over a decade, Moriarty won one Leinster medal and five county senior championship medals.

Moriarty was first considered for inter-county duty when he went for a trial with the Tipperary intermediate team in 1968. While he did not make the Tipperary team, he next appeared as a member of the Kilkenny senior team during the 1970-71 league. Moriarty played no part during the subsequent provincial championship and was an unused substitute for the 1971 All-Ireland final.
