Antonio will be remembered by the Kerry faithful as he guarded the sticks against the league’s newcomers in Finn Park in September, saving a penalty on route to a narrow victory for the Harps.

“I came to Kerry with the ambition to fight for the play-offs and to help the team with my experience. I know that the team is very young and that for this kind of league you also need experience. Having played in the league last year, I already know what the division is all about and how we can pick up points!”

Also speaking to www.kerryfc.com after Tuta’s arrival in the Kingdom, First Team Head Coach Conor McCarthy said; “We are delighted to sign Antonio for the new season. He’s a player who we hope can add some valuable experience from his career so far to the group and push us forward for the season.
