Kennelly planning to extend stay in Sydney

TADHG KENNELLY has all but closed the door on the possibility of another return to Kerry colours, by revealing his intention to continue playing with Sydney Swans in the AFL for “another couple of years”.

The Listowel man’s contract finishes at the end of the season but such is his form since returning to the New South Wales capital after his All-Ireland-winning season with the Kingdom in 2009, he is certain to be offered a new one.

The 2005 AFL premiership champion will turn 30 on July 1 and he is likely to be offered a two-year extension.
