Walsh sticking with St Kilda

TOMMY WALSH will not make a sensational return to Kerry football next season as he is set to sign a new contract with his AFL club St Kilda.

The former Young Footballer of the Year yesterday confirmed: “I’ll be in Australia next year. That’s for certain. But I don’t know too much more than that at this stage. I haven’t signed anything yet, and we’ll see what happens.

The former Kerry star, who trained with the Irish International Rules team on Saturday, made a winning return to gaelic football yesterday as he kicked two points in Kerins O’Rahillys’ 0-13 to 0-9 victory over An Ghaeltacht in a vital Kerry SFL match in Tralee.
