Kerry U20 Star Ben Murphy Set to Join Brisbane Lions
Kerry U20 defender Ben Murphy is expected to sign with AFL side Brisbane Lions next month.
Murphy, an Austin Stacks clubman, was part of Tomás Ó Sé's U20 side in the past season. He will be unavailable for the 2026 campaign due to his move.
- Murphy is expected to sign as a category B rookie with the Lions.
- The Lions already have an Irish contingent, including Kilkenny's Darragh Joyce.
- Tyrone All-Ireland winner Conor McKenna is currently out of contract but expected to sign a one-year extension with the Brisbane club.
Murphy's departure will be a blow to Kerry, who have already seen young players like Mark O'Connor, Cillian Burke, and Rob Monohan leave for Australia to pursue a professional career in Aussie Rules.
