Amidst all the speculation over Kerry prodigy David Clifford's future, Mickey Harte has reiterated his opposition to the International Rules series between Ireland and Australia.

The Red Hands manager is a long standing critic of the close links between the GAA and the AFL and he told The Irish News: "Young Clifford is a serious talent and I think that it's a serious loss to lose any Gaelic player to Australian Rules.

"I think it's a pity and people say 'well they are going to go there anyway'. If they want to go and it is their decision, that's great, but I don't think we should be giving them a shop window by this continuation of this Compromise Rules or whatever you want to call it stuff...

"That is why they are coming for more of our players."
