Tadhg Kennelly has informed the Kerry County Board of his decision to return to the professional ranks of Aussie Rules.

As of now it is unclear to which club he will play for, but it is almost certain that he will resume his role as player and coach with the Sydney Swans, though St Kilda also are believed to have made him a sizeable offer.

Reacting to the news, Jerome Conway, Chairman of the Kerry County Board said that it came as no surprise but he would be missed.

He explained: 'Tadhg has notified us officially that he is returning to Australia. I suppose as things were turning out over the last few weeks, it is no great surprise to us now.

'He did very well while he was here. He fulfilled his burning ambition to win an All-Ireland senior medal and emulate his late father. He certainly helped Kerry's cause in a big way this year.'
