Originally from local side Caulfield Juniors, Sheehan made his senior VFL debut in 1904 and was a member of Fitzroy premiership teams that year and 1905. Shehan played in a variety of positions during his career but was used mostly as a half back flanker. In 1910 he left the club and moved to Carlton, finishing the season with a Grand Final loss to Collingwood Football Club. The game was full of brawls and Sheehan, who was seen as one of the main instigators, was suspended for a season and a half (28 games). When his suspension ended in 1912 he returned to the VFL with Richmond but could only manage four games before retiring.
