Controversial Australian Rules agent Ricky Nixon has revealed that Kerry midfield David Moran may be on his way back Down Under in the summer.
Moran had a trial with St Kilda last year and Nixon believes that Kerins O’Rahillys club man may be returning there soon, rather than later.
'He might be brought out in the middle of this year or later in the year,' Nixon told The Kingdom. 'I’m not too sure. I can’t speak on behalf of the club because it’s their decision. My job is to identify the talent.
'David handled himself extremely well when he was over here and he probably got the same shock of his life, like everyone gets, when he came over for the trials late last year.
'But the good thing is that David now has 12 months to get himself as fit as he can and ready to play. There is no doubt he has the ability, the physical size and the strength to make it. We are still pretty excited about David’s prospects.'
Nixon also claimed that he will be returning to Ireland within the next month on another scouting trip, which he insists will offer a great opportunity to young Irish players.
'Over the last few years there has been a nervousness from some players when they are coming for trials but now it's a case of "how quick can I get there?" It's exciting for the young kids because it's a chance to play a professional sport.
'I read some comments from Mickey Harte lately and it's the same old comments again but I understand Mickey’s frustration because he wants to keep young players there,' he added.
