He made his debut during the 1894 championship. Riordan went on to play a key part for Tipperary, and won two All-Ireland medals and two Munster medals.[citation needed]

At club level Riordan was a three-time championship medallist. He began his club career with Drombane before later joining Upperchurch-Drombane and Thurles.[citation needed]
