Former Kerry underage set for big inter-county transfer

This is intriguing.

Former Kerry underage player Devon Burns is in line for a call-up to the Meath panel.

The goalkeeper once starred for the Kingdom, winning a minor Munster title in 2019, and was named as Munster's best player for U20s in 2022.

He was also part of the senior squad briefly.

Burns initially transferred from his home club Na Gaeil to Kilmacud Crokes, but has now moved to Meath side Ratoath, making him eligible for the county.

Having played under Royals boss Robbie Brennan at Crokes, it would make sense for him to line out once again in green and yellow.

Speaking with the Irish Examiner, Brennan revealed that he has been talking with Burns about his move.

He said: "Devon had contacted me to say he was making the move over to Ratoath.

"I obviously worked with him in Kilmacud. He's a brilliant 'keeper and he'll be a big advantage to Ratoath no doubt for next season.

"Obviously he'd have to play for Ratoath before he's even eligible for the county but we'll keep a close eye on him and see how he goes.

"I have no doubt he's a quality, quality 'keeper and he should go well there for the club."
