Moran: Walsh must prove himself again

David Moran has revealed he respected his friend Tommy Walsh too much to try and convince him to return to Kerry.

On Wednesday, 26-year-old Walsh confirmed he would be coming back after five seasons in the AFL. But for tearing a hamstring off a bone in his second year with the Sydney Swans, things may have worked out differently for Walsh.

Moran, his childhood buddy, feels for Walsh. As his Kerins O’Rahillys club-mate, he is delighted but warned him he will find it difficult to break into a winning side.
