Hennelly has featured for Breaffy heavily over the past decade as the side reached four Mayo senior football championship finals (2013, 2015, 2018 and 2020), but were unsuccessful on each occasion.
He will link up with Dublin senior footballers Brian Fenton, Brian Howard and Sean McMahon in the Raheny setup. They competed in the Dublin senior 1 football championship last year, preserving their status with a relegation play-off win over Clontarf.
Hennelly is involved with Mayo again for the 2023 season under new manager Kevin McStay. He didn’t feature in last night’s league draw against Galway as he is currently out injured with a broken toe.

Economic reality. Doesn’t do anything for Dublin
Must b stuck for a keeper cos he’s bang average
@Martin Glynn: Ahh I think that’s a bit harsh. He had his wobbles in Mayo colours a good while back, but I think he’s really come of age and was fantastic the past year or two. Nailed a lot of crucial 45s in big games and made a few fine saves too. I say that as a complete neutral.
@Ultan Corcoran: fasntiastic..that’s a bit much. Still prone to errors and put more wide than over the bar. Hard to follow Clarke but he’s not a patch on him. In my opinion he’s a liability
