Justin McMahon is an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship-winning Tyrone Gaelic footballer. In 2006, he captained the Tyrone Under 21 team in their Ulster Championship-winning campaign,[1] and has lived up to expectation and has graduated to the senior squad, joining his older brother, Joe.[2][3]

He made his senior debut for Tyrone in the National Football League second round against Fermanagh. He scored a point in his debut.[3] He played Full Back for the Tyrone All Ireland winning team in 2008, and managed to mark Kerry's Kieran Donaghy out of the game, rendering him scoreless.[4]

He is also part of the Omagh St. Enda's Senior team, playing as a forward,[5] and his efforts in 2006 have been rewarded with a nomination for the Tyrone All Stars, one of two Omagh men to meet that standard.[6]

In early 2007, Justin was nominated as the Ulster Herald Sports Personality of the Year for 2006, having been the newspaper's Sports Personality of March, when he had captained Tyrone's U-21 Ulster Championship success.[7]

He played in the MacRory Cup for Omagh CBS in 2004, and captained the team to the semi-final,[1] and while at university, he played for St. Mary's in the 2007 Dr. McKenna Cup.[8]
