Dooley played with the Offaly minor and under-21 inter-county hurling teams in the late 1980s and had some success. In 1986 he came on as a substitute to win an All-Ireland medal at minor level. Dooley was a full member of the team when he won his second minor All-Ireland medal in 1988. He joined the senior panel in 1991 when he helped Offaly to win its very first National Hurling League title. Later that year he made his Leinster Championship debut.
