As a 16-year-old, McLoone was introduced as a substitute in the final of the 2005 Donegal Senior Football Championship (SFC), which the club won for the very first time.[6] The game was drawn, so went to a replay; McLoone's substitute appearance in the drawn final was his senior championship debut.[7]
A brawl among dozens of people after a 2011 Donegal Senior Football Championship game between Naomh Conaill and Glenswilly at Davy Brennan Memorial Park led to McLoone breaking several bones in his face and the Donegal Competition's Controls Committee (CCC) launching an investigation. McLoone had to have surgery to have a plate put into his eye socket.[11]
With Ciarán Thompson now as captain,[13] Naomh Conaill won another Donegal SFC in 2019, after a three-game final in which McLoone was held scoreless in the first two games, but scored a point in the third game's first half.[14]
In March 2011, McLoone broke his ankle.[27] Then, upon returning to the game, he sustained a horrific injury during a club meeting between Naomh Conaill and Glenswilly; a double fracture of his eye socket which required surgery. The injury caused him to miss Donegal's Ulster Senior Football Championship final win over Derry. He had come off the bench to help Donegal overcome Tyrone in the semi-final.[28] He had only returned for Donegal from his broken ankle in the Ulster SFC quarter-final victory over Cavan.[29] He was eventually declared fit for Donegal's All-Ireland semi-final clash with Dublin; however Donegal lost that game.[27][30]
On 16 June 2012, he scored an important goal against Derry to help Donegal through to an Ulster Senior Football Championship semi-final meeting with Tyrone.[31][32][33] He was subsequently named in the team for the final.[34] He had a terrific game in that final on 22 July 2012 as Donegal retained the Ulster title for the first time in their history with a 2–18 to 0–13 victory over Down.[35] McLoone scored a goal in the final.[36] He played in the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final against Mayo.[37][38]
And in some ways, the frustration of being behind the wire was almost preferable to that which he had gone through in the first two years under Rory Gallagher.[citation needed]
Under the management of Rory Gallagher, McLoone fell by the wayside.[40] He was absent by his own choice for six months of the 2015 season but returned in 2016.[40][41] However, he only started four matches (each one in the 2016 National Football League.[40] He scored a goal against Mayo during a second-half substitute appearance in the same competition.[42] Then, in the opening match of the 2016 Ulster Senior Football Championship, he appeared as an early substitute only to be taken off again at half-time.[40][43] He did not make another appearance in the competition.[40] He had 54 minutes of play as a substitute in the two matches against Cork and Dublin during the 2016 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.[40][44][45]
Frustrated at the lack of regular play, McLoone departed from the county team in 2017.[26] He headed stateside.[46] Manager Declan Bonner convinced him to return for 2018.[26] But he would not be a regular starter, in was to be his last two years of inter-county play.[47] Though initially thought doubtful for the National Football League opener against Kerry, McLoone started and completed most of the game, before making way for Jason McGee late on.[48][49] He also started the six remaining fixtures against Galway, Dublin, Kildare, Tyrone, Monaghan and Mayo.[50][51][52][53][54][55]
McLoone made a late substitute appearance against Clare in the opening fixture of the 2019 National Football League in Ennis.[57] He then made substitute appearances in the fixtures against Meath, Tipperary and Fermanagh.[58][59][60] He started the fifth, sixth and seventh fixtures against Armagh, Cork and Kildare.[61][62][63] It was during this competition that McLoone made his 100th senior appearance for Donegal.[26] Following his 101st appearance in the next match (against Armagh, which was also his first start of the season), he was presented with an honour to commemorate his achievement.[64] Donegal qualified for the National Football League Division 2 final and McLoone started the game as Donegal defeated Meath to win the title.[65] McLoone collected his fifth and final Ulster SFC in 2019, appearing as a substitute in the final against Cavan.[66] He decided to retire from inter-county football at the age of 30 at the end of the 2019 season, but this only became public knowledge much later (though manager and teammates were aware).[4] Declan Bonner confirmed McLoone had retired while speaking at a press event on 25 January 2020 ahead of Donegal's second National Football League game of the season, away to Meath.[4] He made 109 appearances for his county.[67]
Coaching career
While still playing with Donegal, McLoone was involved with the Naomh Conaill management team.[41]
In March 2021, Donegal announced him as part of Gary Duffy's under-20 management team.[68]
In November 2022, McLoone succeeded Duffy as Donegal under-20 team manager.[69]
Personal life
McLoone is regarded as media shy.[70] According to clubmate and former Donegal player John Gildea: "The one thing you'd never find with Leo McLoone was any level of arrogance… He gave absolutely everything at training and when he played for Donegal. But at the end of it all he was always happy to sit at the back of the bus and let others make the noise".[4]
He got engaged around the time of his Donegal playing retirement.[4]

It's so time consuming, takes up so much of your life that players are inevitably retiring a little younger. I understand he's just got engaged too so he's moving onto another part of life now.

Martin Regan and Leo McLoone — who was only 16 at the time — were introduced as replacements in 2005, will also feature in the Naomh Conaill line-up.

A small wood engraving by Ralph John Beedham. Ralph John Beedham (1879–1975) was a British wood-engraver. He occupies a unique position in the history of twentieth-century wood-engraving because, being a formschneider, he was probably the last person in Britain to serve an apprenticeship as a professional reproductive wood-engraver. Biography Beedham was born in 1879 in Whitecross Street, Cripplegate, London, and, at the age of 13, was apprenticed for six years to an old established fir...
