Kennelly is repaying Roos

TADHG KENNELLY yesterday revealed the role Sydney Swans coach Paul Roos played in his decision to return to the AFL after winning an All-Ireland with Kerry.

Roos will end his ten-year tenure as Sydney boss this season, and Kennelly admitted the coach had become a ‘father figure’ since the death of his own dad, Tim.

And he admitted he felt obliged to repay Roos by playing again this year.
