English went on to play a key role for over a decade and won five All-Ireland medals, seven Munster medals and eight National Hurling League medals. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions. As a member of the Munster inter-provincial team at various times throughout his career, English won four Railway Cup medals. At club level he won several championship medals in various grades with Marlfield. Throughout his career English made 36 championship appearances. He announced his retirement from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1967 championship. In retirement from playing English became involved in team management and coaching. He was a long-serving selector on several All-Ireland-winning teams. English is widely regarded as one of Tipperary's greatest ever players.
