Murphy hails Henry's return to Kilkenny fold
HENRY SHEFFLIN'S return to the Kilkenny fold is a welcome one, according to his former All-Ireland winning teammate Paul Murphy.
Shefflin was appointed Kilkenny Under-20 manager earlier this week with a high-profile backroom team that includes his regular right-hand man Richie O'Neill and his ex-Cats' pal Brian Hogan.
Also included are Hogan's O'Loughlin Gaels clubmates Stephen Murphy as goalkeeping coach and Fergal Brennan as performance analyst.
The head coach is St Martins' Sean Kelly, with Dicksboro's James Gittens and James Stephens' Nathen Culleton as strength and conditioning coach also on board.
Record 10-time All-Ireland winner and 11-time All Star Shefflin is currently managing his own club Ballyhale Shamrocks after finishing up a three-year stint as Galway boss at the end of last season.
His move to manage Galway wasn’t received well in some quarters in Kilkenny, with the notorious handshakes with Brian Cody in May and June 2022 causing controversy at the time.
