Tommy Walsh has intimated that he could be back playing Gaelic football in 2015.

The Kerins O'Rahilly's clubman joined the Sydney Swans after starring in Kerry's 2009 All-Ireland success, but a return to the Kingdom may be on the cards when his contract expires at the end of the current AFL season.

In an interview with the Thank GAA It's Friday programme which airs on RTE2 tomorrow night, the 26-year-old said: "I'm out of contract at the end of this year so there's a decision to be made. I'd love to be back there, I'd love to be togging out this Sunday (in the All-Ireland final), but I'll wish them the best and hopefully they can pull it off."

Walsh believes Eamonn Fitzmaurice's charges will revel in the underdogs' role against Donegal.

"They are obviously underdogs going in, but I think there is another gear left in Kerry. I'm hoping there is and I think they'll come out on top in the end," he added.
