Kieran Donaghy is excited by the prospect of lining out alongside Tommy Walsh in 2015.

When Kerry won the All-Ireland in 2009, the Tralee duo were dubbed the 'Twin Towers', and they now look set to team up again following Walsh's decision to leave the Sydney Swans after five years, not to mention Donaghy's decision to prolong his inter-county career.

"I want to be part of it," Donaghy said after picking up the GAA/GPA Player of the Month award for September yesterday.

"The body's the number one consideration and I'll see how it goes, how it reacts through the winter. If the body sticks with me I'd love to be wrestling the head off Tommy Walsh in training!

"Having those fellas coming back will give us a great lift. They'll be savage hungry and they're three such inspirational players: Darran O'Sullivan, the Gooch and Tommy to be coming back in. Tommy's coming back with expertise in fitness and weights and I'm going to latch on to him because he's in unbelievable shape.

"I wasn't in the best shape coming into this year. When I couldn't run I felt the weights make me stronger in the core and I want to be fitter so I'm going to get on to him.

"He's my size, a big man, so latching on to him will be my way of trying to get back into shape for next year."
