Playing career
He was captain of the Clann na nGael senior team.[citation needed]
He played for the Roscommon minor team that defeated Kerry in the 2006 All-Ireland Minor Football Championship final. He was part of the DCU team that won the 2010 O'Byrne Cup, defeating Louth in the final and the Sigerson Cup (defeating UCC). In 2010 he helped the Roscommon under-21 team to a Connacht Under-21 Football Championship after a 1-6 to 0-4 win over Sligo. Later in the year, he again starred in a provincial final against Sligo as he scored 10 points in Roscommon's 0-14 to 0-13 Connacht Senior Football Championship win. In 2015, he picked up his first senior County medal with Clann na nGael, scoring 1–3 in the final against Padraig Pearses.[1] Shine's last appearance for Roscommon was in the Connacht Final in 2016 versus Galway.[citation needed]
He remained as a player for Clann na nGael but was forced to retire from the game ahead of the 2021 season, injuries having caught up with him.[2]
