Tommy Walsh will add professional insight in Kerry, says Murphy

Kerry’s Paul Murphy believes Tommy Walsh’s Kingdom return will bring with it positives that ripple far beyond the field of play.

Walsh recently called time on a five-year AFL career with St Kilda and, latterly, the Sydney Swans, to pick up where he left off in 2009 with Kerry. He won an All-Ireland with the Kingdom that year while he had been the Young Footballer of the Year in 2008.

Walsh’s comeback begins with the county’s McGrath Cup campaign and the All-Ireland champions will also be able to call on Colm Cooper after his 2014 season was destroyed by injury.
