BRYAN SHEEHAN HAS been nominated as Kerry football captain for 2016.
The five-time All-Ireland winner was put forward by county champions South Kerry following their win in November’s final.
Sheehan, 30, previously captained Kerry to a Munster title during Jack O’Connor’s second term in 2010.
The 2016 campaign will be his 12th senior season in green and gold, with 60 appearances and 6-153 in championship scores already to his name.
His nomination will be ratified at the next meeting of the Kerry County Committee, a statement said on Sunday evening.
