In 2009 he was a player with the Kanturk junior football team that defeated Rockchapel to win the Duhallow JAFC title. He won a second divisional title in 2011 after another defeat of Rockchapel in the final.[4] On 11 November 2011, McLoughlin won a Cork Junior Championship medal following a 1-20 to 0-04 defeat of Mitchelstown in the final.[5] He ended the game as man of the match.

The 2017-18 season proved to be a hugely successful one for McLoughlin and the Kanturk club. After claiming a Cork Premier Intermediate Championship medal with the hurling team following a two-point defeat of Mallow in the final, he later won a Cork Intermediate Championship medal as a footballer following a 0-14 to 0-13 defeat of Mitchelstown in the final.[7][8] McLoughlin later won a Munster medal with the hurlers after a 1-23 to 0-25 extra time defeat of Kilmaley.[9] On 4 February 2018, he won an All-Ireland medal after scoring seven points in a 1-18 to 1-17 defeat of St Patrick's Ballyragget in the final.[10]

On 8 September 2013, McLoughlin lined out in his first All-Ireland final against Clare having earlier lost the Munster final to Limerick.[17] Three second-half goals through Conor Lehane, Anthony Nash and Pa Cronin, and a tenth point of the game from Patrick Horgan gave Cork a one-point lead as injury time came to an end. A last-second point from corner-back Domhnall O'Donovan earned Clare a 0–25 to 3–16 draw.[18] The replay on 28 September 2013 saw a hat-trick of goals by Clare's Shane O'Donnell, while further goals from Conor McGrath and Darach Honan secured a 5–16 to 3–16 victory for Clare.[19]

On 13 July 2014, McLoughlin won his first Munster medal after a six-point defeat of Limerick in the final.[20]
