Kerry FC have announced John Wall as Chairperson and Co-owner of the First Division side.

Tralee native Wall, now based in the United States, has taken a controlling stake in the club alongside Steven Conway who partnered with Brian Ainscough in 2023 when the club entered the League of Ireland.

Ainscough went on to take over Dundalk last year and agreed to a takeover with a local group of investors in September.

"John’s passion for sport, loyalty to his roots, and leadership experience make him the perfect partner for Kerry FC" said Kerry FC.

"His vision and values align seamlessly with our club’s long-term ambitions, and we are excited to embark on this next chapter together, as we look forward to building on the collective efforts of every person who has contributed to making Kerry FC what it is today."

Kerry FC also announced that Billy Dennehy has been promoted to Chief Executive Officer. Dennehy was the first manager for the Kerry side and last season was director of football.

"Billy Dennehy has been promoted to CEO of Kerry FC, recognising his incredible contribution to the club’s growth and success" the club said.

"Billy’s deep connection to Kerry and his steadfast commitment to our community resonate perfectly with the values that define Kerry FC."
