Declan's Gaelic football journey began when he was just a child.

Growing up in the Gaeltacht region of Galway, he was surrounded by the sport. His father was a former county player, and his brothers and sisters all played Gaelic football. It was only natural that Declan would follow in their footsteps.

Declan quickly showed a natural talent for the game. He was a gifted athlete with great speed, strength, and agility. He also had a keen eye for goal and a knack for making the right decisions on the pitch.

By the time he was a teenager, Declan was playing for his local club, Gaeltacht.

He quickly established himself as one of the best young players in the county, and he helped Gaeltacht win a number of underage titles.

In 2018, Declan was called up to the Galway minor team. He made his debut for the county in the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship, and he quickly became a key player for the team. Galway reached the final of the championship that year, but they were defeated by Tyrone.

Despite the disappointment of losing the All-Ireland final, Declan's performance in the championship caught the attention of several European clubs.

In 2019, he signed a contract with the German club, Borussia Dortmund.

Declan's move to Borussia Dortmund was a major step in his career.

He was now playing at the highest level of Gaelic football in Europe, and he was surrounded by some of the best players in the world.

Declan quickly adapted to life at Borussia Dortmund.

He learned the language, he made friends, and he started to develop his game even further. He became a regular starter for the team, and he helped Borussia Dortmund win the German Bundesliga title in 2020.

Declan's success at Borussia Dortmund has also earned him a place in the Ireland national Gaelic football team.

He made his debut for the national team in 2021, and he has since become a key player for the team.

Declan Kirby is a rising star in Gaelic football.

He has already achieved great success at club and international level, and he is still only 22 years old. He has the potential to become one of the best players in the world, and it will be exciting to see what he achieves in the years to come.
