We are currently looking for a female sports columnist to complement our existing sports section. The role would be flexible but it would involve writing one article - preferably an opinion piece - on a fortnightly basis at first.

Being a current or former player from any sport would be an advantage, as would being based in the Killarney/Kerry area.

“We’re constantly exploring ways of improving our sports section and we believe that adding a female voice would be a really positive move,” said Killarney Advertiser sports editor Adam Moynihan.

“We have a small team of sports contributors at the moment and, as is often the case in the world of sports media, it is currently male-dominated. It’s important to be as diverse as possible and if we can find the right candidate to come in and add to what we’re already doing, it can only be a good thing.

“Women’s sport is finally beginning to get the respect and coverage it deserves. It would be great to be able to give a local sportswoman the platform to share her opinions on whatever stories she is passionate about.”

If you have an interest in writing/media work and you think you fit the bill, contact Adam via sport@killarneyadvertiser.ie for more information.

No experience necessary - you will get plenty of assistance along the way.

Killarney teenager Luke Doolan has signed for Kerry FC, making the move from local side Killarney Athletic.

The 17-year-old forward was a standout performer in the Kerry District League last season and caught the eye with five goals in the Munster Youths Cup.
He also featured for Athletic’s senior team and earned a call-up to the Republic of Ireland Under-18 squad, where he impressed in international friendlies.
Doolan will now train with the Kerry FC first team and play with the club’s Under 20 Academy side. His signing is another boost for the club’s commitment to developing local talent.
Speaking after the move, Luke said: “I’m delighted to have this chance with Kerry FC and I’m looking forward to working with the team. I’m grateful to Colin Healy for the opportunity and I’m excited to play in front of the Kerry supporters.”
First-team manager Colin Healy added: “Luke has trained with us for the last number of weeks and has really impressed. He’s shown a great attitude and hunger to learn. He’s a talented young player and this is the next step for him.”
Kerry FC CEO Billy Dennehy said: “Luke’s journey is similar to many young players who previously had no League of Ireland pathway in Kerry. His progress is a credit to Killarney Athletic and his coaches. We look forward to helping him develop further at the club.”
