Career

O'Donovan first came to Gaelic football prominence with the Carbery Rangers team that won consecutive Southwest Junior Championship titles. Around this time he was also drafted onto the Cork minor team and won a Munster Minor Championship title in 1939. O'Donovan subsequently transferred to the Clonakilty club that was enjoying a golden age in terms of success and won six County Championship titles in ten years. He was soon added to the Cork senior team and claimed his first silverware in 1943 when Cork won the Munster Senior Championship for the first time in 15 years. O'Donovan won a second provincial title two years later before ending the season by lining out at midfield when Cork claimed the All-Ireland title after a defeat of Cavan in the final. He claimed a third Munster Championship title in his last year with the team in 1949. O'Donovan also won a Railway Cup medal with Munster in 1948.

O'Donovan died at St Anne's Hospital in Skibbereen on 17 October 1995.
