Originally from Mountbellew,[1] Daly made his debut with the county side in the 1981 National League and played until the 1997 Championship season when he was player manager.[citation needed]

An All-Star in 1987 and 1990, Daly won five Connacht Senior Football Championship titles. As well as managing the Galway football team between 1996 and 1997, he was also appointed temporary manager of the Roscommon county football team in 2005, after the resignation of Tommy Carr from the post.[2]

He is currently manager of his own club side Mountbellew–Moylough in the Galway Senior Football Championship.[citation needed]

His son John also played for Galway.[3]
