O’Sullivan went on to line out for Kerry on six occasions and was on the bench for four games during the season. Aaron had a debut to remember for his home club, as he was in between the sticks for the kingdom’s first-ever win in the League of Ireland.
Speaking after re-signing for Kerry FC, O’Sullivan said; “I’m delighted to re-sign with Kerry FC ahead of the new season. It’s a very proud moment for me and my family. I am buzzing to get back playing again in front of the amazing fans in Mounthawk Park and to have a great season. I’m very excited to get back working with the management team, Del and Chris, the goalkeeper coaches.”
First Team Head Coach Conor McCarthy said; “We’re delighted to have Aaron re-signed for 2024. Aaron played a key role in several games where we picked up points last season. He was very unlucky to pick up an injury towards the end of the season but hopefully this season he can stay injury-free and have a big impact on the group.”
