I just want to thank Colin for believing in me, and I want to perform for all the supporters here in Mounthawk Park. The other players have been telling me about the atmosphere created here, and I can't wait to experience that first hand' On his latest acquisition, Healy said: 'We are delighted to have Shane here in Kerry and looking forward to seeing what he can do on the pitch. He has been in training with us for the last few weeks and has been really good around the group, and has fit in really well. He comes with some fantastic experience, from his time with Huddersfield and, of course, making his international debut with Zimbabwe. Hopefully he enjoys his time here in Kerry.'
