Heffernan believes Cats needed a DJ to get the mix right

Former Kilkenny forward Christy Heffernan argues DJ Carey’s imminent appointment to Brian Cody’s management team is a necessary one for the team’s hiccuping attack.

Few inter-county forwards have featured in the Cats’ brain trust over the last 30 years dating back before Cody. In the Cody era, Noel Skehan and James McGarry were goalkeepers, Derek Lyng a midfielder and Ger Henderson was a defender.
