Galway football star Damien Comer: Relationship with girlfriend Megan and life as teacher

Damien Comer has been in a long-term relationship with his girlfriend Megan.

They first acknowledged that they were dating with a romantic snap of their couple’s holiday three years ago.

The full forward leads a busy life with him working as a teacher when he’s not on the pitch.

How old is Damien and where is he from?

Damien was born on 11 January 1994, making him 28 years old.

The powerful target man is originally from Galway and plays for his local club Annaghdown.

He attended St Jarlath's College in Tuam before going on to graduate from NUI Galway.

What job does Damien have away from football?

Damien completed a Bachelor of Science in Anatomy and a Master’s Degree in Teacher Education and Professional Development between 2016 and 2018.

He now works as a teacher and spoke about the difficulty of teaching from home in 2020.

He said: “This teaching from home is not as easy as it seems! Yes they are 2 pool ques holding up my surface device”.

When did Damien start playing for Galway?

Damien had a late start playing inter-county football in comparison to his teammates.

The Annaghdown player has been described as a “late bloomer” with his former manager sharing that he wasn’t in the system at an early age.

Alan Flynn, the former Galway U-21 Manager, brought him onto the team in 2013 which was his first time playing at a county level.

Is Damian in a relationship?

Yes, Damian is in a long term relationship with his girlfriend Megan Glynn.

He first marked their romance on his social media with a snap of their holiday to Salou in Spain in July 2019.

The footballer wrote, “Buenas noches desde salou” which in English means ‘Goodnight from Salou’.

The Galway star loves to travel the world and shares incredible pictures of his adventures. Last summer, he enjoyed a romantic trip to Santorini in Greece with the couple having their evening meals by the sea to take in the spectacular sunsets.

They even had a pool on their roof that looked out onto the ocean with a pair of sun loungers too.

Damian and Megan also like taking weekend staycations where they keep active by going on hikes in the local area.
