Europe The highest profile Irishman playing in the AFL, Tadhg Kennelly has had numerous stories over past years coming out of Ireland saying he was heading home - usually on the back of conversations or statements from Kennelly about how keen he was to win an All Ireland medal with Kerry. Today's article in The Kerryman though, indicates that he had made the decision on his career which will end immediately, with the Swans premiership player to return to Kerry "full time within the next two weeks".

The article in The Kerryman - appears here. worldfootynews.com has contacted the Swans for further information.

Update: The Sydney Swans have made the following statement on the matter "Tadhg signed a three year contract, which was for seasons 2007, 2008 and 2009. He is back in training with the Sydney Swans and preparing for the season ahead." Which would seem to put the matter to rest.
