Byrne made his first appearance for the team during the 1927 championship and became a regular player over the next decade. During that time he won three All-Ireland medals, seven Leinster medals and one National Hurling League medal.[2]

Byrne enjoyed a two-decade long career with Dicksboro, winning two county championship medals.[citation needed]

His brother, Eddie Byrne, also played hurling with Kilkenny.[citation needed]
