[edit] Club Football
Gormley plays his club football for Carrickmore and has won four Tyrone Senior Championship medals with the club in 1999, 2001, 2004 and 2005.
On top of his four county medals for Carrickmore, Gormley is the current club captain[2]
[edit] County Football
Gormley has been one of the most consistent preformers in a Tyrone jersey and was pivotal both the 2003 and 2005 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 came out of nowhere to make an outstanding diving block to prevent an almost certain goal.[3]
In August 2006, Gormley suffered a double leg break in a club game.[4][2] 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.[1]
It is interesting to note that Gormley made the Tyrone County Senior squad managed by Art McRory, before he made the U-21 squad managed by current Tyrone boss, Micky Harte.
As of 2008 he remains as a member of the Tyrone panel.
