The Irish Times is reporting that Tadhg Kennelly has ruled out a return to Australia.

Amid all the speculation regarding his future, Kennelly has moved to quell fears that he will return to Aussie Rules with the Sydney Swans. Just over 24 hours after winning his first All-Ireland medal, Kennelly said he will be back in search of a second next summer.

After dedicating the majority of his career to the Australian code, Kennelly returned this year to emulate his father, Tim, and brother, Noel, in getting his hands on the Sam Maguire.

And, having got his first taste of All-Ireland glory, it would appear the the 28-year-old is clearly hungry for more.

“I am committing (to Kerry),” Kennelly said. “I’ve had a great time at Sydney. I haven’t really thought about it at the moment but I will sit down and have a good think about it.

“My head is truly, truly set on Kerry. And my heart. That’s probably the main thing that has come out here.”
