Sean, who hails from Annascaul, will return home in 2023 to line out for Kerry FC in the club’s inaugural season at senior level in the League of Ireland.

Speaking on the announcement, Sean said “I’m delighted to sign for Kerry FC after taking a career break for the past year. I can’t wait to get started and looking forward to playing back home” He added “When I got the call from Billy I couldn’t turn it down. I’m really looking forward to playing in front of all the fans and getting all the support we can here at home in Kerry”
First team manager Billy Dennehy said, “I’m delighted to have secured the services of Sean for 2023. He is a huge asset to us and has proven he can compete at this level of the game”.
