Kerry wizard Kennelly confirms return to Oz

IT’S official: Tadhg Kennelly last night brought almost two months of speculation to an end by confirming that he will return to Australia to resume his AFL career.

The Listowel man informed the county board of his decision yesterday afternoon, less than 24 hours after telling local and national radio that he was still “50-50” about what to do.

The Irish Examiner had reported earlier this week that this decision was expected after the player had confided to close friends that he was leaning towards a return to Australia.
