He was part of the back-to-back Dr Croke Cup-winning teams in 2023 and 2024, while he also won a Leinster PPS SAHC title.[1][2] McDermott later lined out with University College Cork in the Fitzgibbon Cup.[3]
At club level, McDermott first played for James Stephens at juvenile and underage levels.[4] He won consecutive Kilkenny MAHC titles in 2023 and 2024, before progressing to adult level.[5] McDermott's first year with the seniors saw the team relegated to the Kilkenny IHC.[6]
McDermott first appeared on the inter-county scene for Kilkenny during a two-year tenure with the minor team in 2022 and 2023.[7] He immediately progressed to the under-20 team and lined out with them in the 3–19 to 1–16 defeat by Tipperary in the 2025 All-Ireland U20HC final.[8] McDermott made his senior team debut in a National Hurling League game against Cork in March 2026.[9]
