2008 surprise packets Wexford have been boosted by the return of midfielder Diarmuid Kinsella from Hong Kong ahead of the new season. The Castletown clubman travelled to the Far East in March 2007 after expressing frustration at the GAA's disciplinary system following his failure to have an eight-week ban lifted. Kinsella received the suspension after he was sent off in a National League game against Tipperary, but despite being vindicated by his Tipp opponent Michael Phelan, the ban stood. Kinsella will be given time to build up his fitness and football skills before being brought back into the inter-county fold. Welcoming his return, Wexford manager Jason Ryan said: "Diarmuid's return will be a boost for Castletown and hopefully Wexford. "But we must not lose sight of the fact that he has been away from football at the top level for two years. Hopefully, he can get back to the levels required." Tweet
