Kerry fans are close to wetting themselves at the prospect of Tommy Walsh back in harness for 2015 while AFL fans aren't too worried at his departure.

The Kerins O'Rahilly's clubman confirmed that he is returning home after five years in Australia.

Tommy Walsh has confirmed he's coming home! Yahoo, eamon is gonna have a headache when it comes to forwards with Gooch coming back too!

Imagine being All-Ireland champions AND having the Gooch and Tommy Walsh still to come back into your side?

Tommy Walsh will be a huge addition to Kerry in 2015. Great competition for places up front with Gooch, Darran O'Sullivan back fully fit too

The reaction from those who follow Australian Rules Football was more muted:

Nice that Tommy Walsh made his announcement to return home on Swans TV, as he's been more of a fixture there than on the pitch

I still remember when Tommy Walsh was 'a big deal'.

Tommy Walsh returning to Ireland, Sainters made the correct call a few years ago. Epic fail at Sydney.
