Career

Cantwell first played hurling and Gaelic football to a high standard as a student at Killina Presentation Secondary School. He later earned inclusion on the DCU Dóchas Éireann team for the Fitzgibbon Cup.

At club level, Cantwell progressed through the juvenile and underage ranks with the Shamrocks club before joining the club's adult teams as a dual player. He was part of the club's senior football team that beat Tubber in 2018 to win the Offaly SBFC title.
