O’Sullivan not interested in captain's armband

Declan O'Sullivan has indicated that he has no interest in being reappointed as captain of the Kerry senior football team.

O'Sullivan captained the Kingdom to back-to-back All-Ireland successes in 2006 and 2007 before being replaced by Paul Galvin in 2008.

The South Kerry clubman has been tipped in some quarters to return to the captain’s role next year but has now ruled that out.

'To be honest, it's a great honour to captain you county and I have had that honour not once, not twice but on three occasions,' he told the Irish Independent.

'There are plenty of fellows who will push their way into Jack O'Connor's plans but Bryan (Sheehan) or Killian (Young) would do a fine job. I had my time and I think it's time for a new man.'
