Breen played with the Castlecomer Community School hurling team that won the Leinster Colleges Championship in 2007.[1] He simultaneously lined out with the St Martin's club at juvenile and underage levels before eventually progressing onto the club's senior team. Breen first appeared on the inter-county scene as captain of the Kilkenny minor hurling team that beat Galway in the 2008 All-Ireland minor final.[2] After an unsuccessful tenure with the under-21 team, he was drafted onto the Kilkenny senior hurling team in 2013.[3] Breen shared in the team's National Hurling League success in his debut season before claiming Walsh Cup honours in 2014.[4][5]
