From Burt, Callaghan served as the understudy of Gary Walsh during Donegal's successful 1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship team. Following the retirement of Walsh the previous year, Callaghan made his Championship debut against Antrim in 1997.[1] His championship career was restricted to three appearances; Tony Blake replaced him when Callaghan sustained a groin injury in his final championship match, a 1–11 to 0–11 win against Antrim in 1998.[2]
