Former All Ireland Minor winning fullback Stefan Okunbor is set to return to the County setup.

After 3 years with the Geelong Cats, the Na Gaeli man is set to reunite with returning Kerry manager Jack O’Connor.

The 23 year old Tralee native went to Australia in 2018, going on to make 17 appearances in the Victorian Football League before a serious achilles injury and the Covid-19 pandemic limited his game time.
