Moran pleads for patience with Clifford

David Moran insists the hype surrounding David Clifford is excessive and the teenager will need time to adapt to senior level.

The prodigious Clifford could make his first senior appearance when Kerry entertain Donegal in Killarney on Sunday week.

Moran appreciates the teenager will bring a level of expectation and is delighted he’s a Kerryman but stresses “some of it is over the top”.
