Crokes nominate White for Kerry captaincy
All-action wing back Gavin White has been confirmed as the captain of the Kerry senior men’s football team for the 2025 season.
White (27) was selected by his club Dr Crokes who had the honour of nominating this year’s skipper after winning last year’s Kerry Senior Football Championship. “We wish Gavin and all of the Kerry team the best of luck for the season ahead,” the club said in a statement.
The Killarney man succeeds outgoing captain Paudie Clifford who led the squad throughout the 2024 campaign. He will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of his Black and Amber clubmates Kieran O’Leary and Fionn Fitzgerald who lifted Sam Maguire as captains back in 2014.
White previously captained Kerry in 2019 when they reached the All-Ireland final where they lost to Dublin after a replay.
The Kingdom get their season underway on Sunday with a home game against Jim McGuinness’ Donegal at Killarney’s Fitzgerald Stadium. The match throws in at 1.45pm.
Check out this week’s Killarney Advertiser sports section for a full preview of the big match.
