John Fogarty (born 18 October 1977) was an Irish rugby union footballer who played hooker for Irish club Leinster Rugby and Ireland A.
He was called up to the Ireland squad for the 2010 tour of New Zealand and Australia and earned his first test cap as a sub in the 75th minute against the All Blacks on 10 June 2010.[1]
Fogarty hails from Cork and was educated in Rockwell College. Fogarty enjoyed a three-year spell with Munster (2000–’03) and made 107 appearances for Connacht (80 in the Magners League and 27 in the European Challenge Cup) since his debut in the 2003/’04 season. John is the brother of fellow Ireland ‘A’ star Denis Fogarty.
Fogarty announced his retirement in November 2010 due to a concussion.
