Kennelly given until end of the week to decide AFL future

SYDNEY Swans coach Paul Roos has given Tadhg Kennelly until the end of the week to decide whether his AFL future is with the New South Wales club.

Kennelly informed Kerry County Board chiefs on Friday night that he was to return to Australia and re-ignite his professional career.

The Listowel man heads to Sydney this week to launch his controversial book Unfinished Business and while the Swans have until December 2 – the final list lodgement date – to delist the premiership backman or re-contract him, Roos said the club needed to finalise its plans for the national and pre-season drafts before then.
