Ciaran Carey has resigned from his role as manager of the Kerry senior hurlers due to 'increased work commitments'.

The Limerick legend, who took over the reins from Eamonn Kelly 12 months ago, has announced his decision via a statement issued by the Kerry County Board this evening.

"Due to increased work commitments, I am unable to give the necessary time required to manage the Kerry Senior Hurling team for the coming season," the three-time All-Star revealed. 

"I wish to thank my management team, the full panel of players and the backroom team for their support and commitment in delivering a very successful 2016 season which resulted in Kerry maintaining their Division 1B Allianz League and Senior Championship status.

"I also wish to thank the Kerry County Board for their full support and provision of all the necessary backup required to perform the job. Finally, I would  like to wish the Kerry  players the very best for the coming season."

Kerry County Board have expressed their thanks to Ciaran and his management team of Mark Foley, James McCarthy and Mike Conway for their time, dedication and commitment during the past year.
