Club Football

Gormley plays his club football for Carrickmore St. Colmcille's and has won four Tyrone Senior Championship medals with the club in 1999, 2001, 2004 and 2005.[1]

County Football

Gormley has been one of the most consistent performers in a Tyrone jersey and was pivotal in the 2003, 2005 and 2008 All-Ireland winning Tyrone county teams.

His greatest moment in a Tyrone jersey came in the 2003 All-Ireland Final against Armagh. With two minutes remaining in the match, and Tyrone a vulnerable three points ahead, Stephen McDonnell, who had already scored five goals in the Championship had picked up the ball in a very dangerous area, and was baring down on goal. As he kicked the ball, Gormley made an outstanding diving block to prevent an almost certain goal.[2]

In August 2006, Gormley suffered a double leg break in a club game.[1][3] This ruled him out for the rest of the year, although he returned to action in 2007, and his performances earned him a Gaelic Players Association award.[4]

Gormley made the Tyrone senior squad managed by Art McRory before he made the U-21 squad managed by current senior boss Micky Harte.

Outside Football

Outside of football Conor Gormley is an electrician by trade.[5]
