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.

    A huge talent to have sitting on the bench most of the time.

    I think anyone who saw Sheehan in this year’s county championship, and in particular the 2 finals can see he should be the first name on the team sheet…class act!
