Byrne started as a trainee with West Ham before moving to Dublin City in 2004. After only 4 games with Dublin City he quit the team, citing the difficult transition from London to Dublin as the reason. Once free from multiple transfer binds, he trialed at various teams and then moved to Chesham United, initially on trial before joining permanently. He later played for Burnham and before transferring to Hemel Hempstead in March 2006 and Slough Town on 7 March 2009.
Byrne captained the Republic of Ireland U-16 side to victory at the UEFA European Championships in Scotland in May 1998. He was also part of the Republic's U-21 side.[1]
