Eoin Brosnan has been named as the new Kerry Captain for 2013.

The 32-year-old has been nominated for the role by his club, Dr Crokes after winning the county championship.

Brosnan will hope to lead Kerry to greater success in the coming year after a difficult 2012 for the Kingdom.

Kerry lost to Cork in the Munster Championship semi-finals and fell to eventual Champions Donegal at the quarter-final hurdle in the All Ireland Championship.

They are under new management this year in the shape of Eamonn Fitzmaurice.
