Clifford has been put forward by the East Kerry Board after the divisional team were crowned Kerry county senior champions last month.

The 24-year-old scored 1-9 in that success in Austin Stack Park and as the Kerry tradition is for the county champions to have the honour of selecting the senior football team captain, it has paved the way for Clifford to lead the Kingdom next season.

The star forward has enjoyed a phenomenal football season, collecting All-Ireland, Munster and National League honours in Kerry senior colours.

At local level Clifford won the county senior title with East Kerry and junior title with his club Fossa, who play in Munster championship action this Saturday in a semi-final against Limerick’s Castlemahon.

He also won his fourth All-Star award and the 2022 GAA-GPA Footballer of the Year honour.
