Nally began his club career at juvenile and underage levels as a dual player with Belmont and Ferbane. During that time he also lined out with the Offaly Schools amalgamated team in various Leinster Colleges competitions.[1] Nally progressed to adult club level and had his first success in 2018 when Ferbane won the Offaly IFC title. A year later he claimed an Offaly SFC medal after a 2–13 to 0–14 defeat of Rhode.[2]
