Australian rules football After leaving school and All-Ireland Minor and Hogan Cup success, Tohill was head-hunted by the Melbourne Demons and after spent some time as a rookie player in Australian Rules football. He would sometimes return home to play Gaelic football while there. After breaking his leg, he returned home from Melbourne in 1991 to concentrate on Gaelic football. International rules football Tohill played for Ireland on four International Rules tours between 1998 (when the series was revived) and 2001. He made eight appearances for his country. In 2001, he captained Ireland in their victorious tour of Australia. He has since moved into the backrooms of the international setup, under manager Seán Boylan. He was part of the 2006 backroom team, and was a selector for the 2008 Series, and with fellow selector, Eoin Liston, took charge of the training sessions. Observing Tohill taking the training sessions, Irish News journalist Paddy Heaney has predicted a future in management for Tohill, stating he "shows all the signs of someone who remains an avid student of the game". In March 2010, he was named as manager of the Irish International rules team. Soccer Tohill played association football for Derry City, and Manchester United Reserves, during a two-week trial at the club in 1995.
