[edit]Manley first played Gaelic football and hurling with the Inniscarra club. He won a Mid Cork JAFC title with the club in 1989, while he also lined out with the Muskerry divisional team as a dual player. Manley first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor team that won the 1985 All-Ireland MHC title.[2] He progressed onto the under-21 team and was at centre-forward on the team that beat Kilkenny in the 1988 All-Ireland Under-21 HC final.[3] Manley made his senior team debut against Waterford during the 1987–88 league; however, it took a number of years before he established himself on the team. In the meantime, he won an All-Ireland JFC with the Cork junior football team in 1990.[4] Manley won a Munster SHC in 1992; however, Cork lost the subsequent All-Ireland SHC final to Kilkenny. He added a National League title to his collection in 1993.[5] Manley ended his club career as a goalkeeper with Midleton.
