Kerry manager Jack 'Connor said: "It was with sadness that I learned today of Tommy Walsh’s decision to retire from the Kerry Senior football panel.
"I coached Tommy for two years firstly in 2008 with Kerins O’Rahilly’s when he was instrumental in helping the club to a county final and in 2009 with Kerry. "He gave one of the great exhibitions in the 2009 All Ireland final against Cork when he scored four great points – two from either foot. Like his father Seanie, he was a man for the big occasion and raised his game accordingly."I wish him all the best in retirement, and I hope he continues to enjoy a fruitful club career for many years to come."
County chairman Tim Murphy said: "Over the past two years in particular Tommy’s leadership on and off the field has helped to encourage, motivate, and successfully integrate many of our younger players onto the panel."On behalf of all Kerry supporters I wish to sincerely thank and acknowledge Tommy for all he has done and wish him the very best in the future."
