Also speaking after Daniel re-signed for Kerry FC, First Team Head Coach Conor McCarthy said, “We are delighted to have Daniel back in with the squad for the 2025 season. I’ve known Daniel for a long time, he was with us in the Academy before his move cross-channel to Stockport. Since his return, Daniel has impressed with his work ethic in training and adding another string to our bow in attack. I’m sure Daniel will continue to learn and grow in the game in 2025. He has a fantastic CV for a man of 21 and he’s already impressing in pre-season training with us again”
