Aidan O'Shea (Kerry Gaelic footballer)

Aidan O'Shea is an Irish Gaelic footballer born in 1985 in County Kerry, who comes from the Glenbeigh-Glencar club and plays for the Kerry county team. He is the son of the Kerry footballer Jack O'Shea and works as a physical education and geography teacher at Mercy Mounthawk in Tralee. He was named on the Kerry panel for the 2008 National League but made his debut in the 2009 National League, in a game against Donegal on 1 February 2009 where he started at right wing-back. Over that league campaign he was tried at left wing-back and at full-back, which is the position he holds for his club. His first Championship appearance came in the 2009 qualifier against Longford, and injury, including knee surgery and a serious groin problem, kept him out for the whole of 2010. The article is short and covers only the opening seasons of his career.
