Owen Sexton (born 1975) is an Irish retired Gaelic footballer who played as a centre-back for the Cork senior team.[1]
Born in Kilbrittain, County Cork, Sexton first excelled at Gaelic football whilst at school at Hamilton High School, Bandon. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later lining out with the under-21 side. He made his senior debut in the 1997 championship. Sexton went on to play a key role for the team for over a decade, winning three Munster medals and one National Football League medal. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.
Throughout his career Sexton made 31 championship appearances for Cork. He retired from inter-county football following the conclusion of the 2008 championship.
In retirement from play Sexton has become involved in coaching and team management. In 2013 he was named as a selector as part of Brian Cuthbert's management.
