Swans coach Roos backs returning Kennelly to shine

SYDNEY SWANS coach Paul Roos has predicted big things for Tadhg Kennelly this year after a pre-season campaign in which the 2009 All-Ireland medallist has greatly impressed.

“He’s a terrific player, a really important player for us, but I think Tadhg will be the first to admit that we’re not just relying on him to get back up the ladder,” Roos said.

“It’s got to be across the board improvement but he’s a great leader who leads by example and then obviously his footy’s pretty good too.”
