Darran O’Sullivan job decision ‘proves Kerry’s focus’

Dublin’s James McCarthy believes Darran O’Sullivan’s decision to step away from his job for one more conducive to his football commitments proves how focused Kerry are on retaining their All-Ireland title.

O’Sullivan last week revealed he quit working for Ulster Bank to take up part-time positions more favourable to his preparations to return to Kerry’s first team.

“It shows how much they want to win it back this year. Darran has been struggling with injuries the last couple of years so he just wanted to give himself a better shot. I don’t think he actually stopped working – he took on another job (part-time) – so I don’t think it is as drastic as it was made out.”
