Delighted to see two promising young players who have come up through the local pathway sign,the part time pro deals is interesting ,we just might hear less of the ....amateur...dictate now going foward.

Antonio Tuta, who I seem to recall had a rather turbulent spell at Finn Harps last year, has signed for Kerry:

Signed mid-summer to cover the injured Tim Hiemer, but ended up on the bench behind Rory Kelly for most of his spell. Ended up playing 7 games for us in total, and I think could be a good bit of business for Kerry. He's better than Axworthy, for me.

I wouldn't say brutal...Showed glimpses of quality but not enough. Don't think he was any worse than Ferry. Seems much lazier now though which didn't help endear himself and I'm glad we kept Ferry on instead for that reason

He was fairly good I thought. Made some great saves but liable to the odd brain fart

I’m not sure that this list is 100% accurate but it’s not far off

Managed 3 goals and 1 assist in 18 games, and Ferry had 3 goals and 1 assist in 15 games, so fairly similar records for the season, but I think Ferrys work-rate alone makes him worth keeping on. Banda didn't shake a leg in 18 games. Just didn't look in the least bit interested.

BJ has shown in glimpses that he has the quality but there just seems to be lacking in work rate / determination, Sound fella though , hopefully it work out for him at Institute

Kennedy Amechi re-signs for the new season, which, given our problems in front of goal, will be a major boost.

**legendz** · 18/01/2024, 3:48 PM

Antonio Tuta wants to help Kerry fight for the playoffs. I hope he does. Not conceding sloppy goals from set pieces will at least help to pick up more points.
Amechi is an important re-signing. Okwute and Mechi will both need to contribute at least 10 goals alongside Kelliher.

Barry Baggley has returned to Waterford for the upcoming season, no mention of a loan or otherwise, but great to have him back, he was a key player for us last season.

Just saw that there now yeah, a loan.

**Shearer** · 18/01/2024, 5:51 PM

Adam O'Halloran joins Treaty United. 19 signed up now, imagine not many more due.

**joey B** · 19/01/2024, 11:14 AM

Aaron McEneff joined Shamrock Rovers on loan.

Due to become a permanent transfer at the end of the season also on a long term deal. Aside from in goals you’d have to say their squad is probably stronger than last year now

Has a chance to be the strongest in quite a while but it all depends on key players staying fit, particularly at wingback.

Don't know if Rovers are looking much stronger but they are not any weaker which puts pressure on Derry/Pats. Bradley has certainly won the battle with the board bluffing a few months back over the threat of budget cuts no way they were ever going to cut back with 5 in a row on the table

They don’t look weaker at all, except in the keeper area. They’ll be the ones to beat again this season.
