The Fossa wonderkid has drawn serious attention of late for his remarkable shooting displays, and there has been speculation about what’s next for the Kingdom’s minor captain.
The lure of Australia and the AFL is ever-present, and concerns for Kerry fans were intensified yesterday when the league’s official Twitter account shared an article entitled ‘Potential Irish star hard to prise from home’.
The tweet read: “David Clifford, an 18-year-old Gaelic footballer, will come onto the radar of several AFL clubs.”

Tomás Ó Sé voiced his opinion and addressed the tweet on The Sunday Game last night.
“Now this tweet here – Look, I don’t mind if David Clifford gets offered a way to go out to Australia,” he said.
“But I don’t know why they’re tweeting about it. If the guy goes, he goes.
“I don’t know who’s driving it. But this is a guy who the AFL have apparently not tapped up yet, but the AFL are tweeting about him tonight, writing articles about him. There obviously is interest out there.
“I hope he stays at home for the good of Kerry football, but you can’t force a young fella to stay at home. He needs to want to stay at home, and I hope he does.”
He also tweeted about it off his personal account earlier in the day.
