Thomas O'Sullivan (born 1 November 1996) is an Irish Gaelic footballer. At club level he plays with Dingle, and at inter-county level with the Kerry senior football team.

Career

O'Sullivan first played Gaelic football to a high standard as a schoolboy at Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne. He was part of the school team that won back-to-back Hogan Cup titles in 2014 and 2015, while he was also part of four Corn Uí Mhuirí-winning teams.[2] [3] At club level, O'Sullivan plays with Dingle. After a Kerry MFC success in 2014, he has since gone on to win numerous West Kerry SFC titles, as well as a Kerry Club FC title in 2015.[4] [5]

O'Sullivan first appeared on the inter-county scene with Kerry as a member of the minor team that beat Donegal in the 2014 All-Ireland minor final.[6] A two-year association with the under-21 team yielded a Munster U21FC medal in 2017.[7]

Following his first season with the under-21 team, O'Sullivan was drafted onto the senior team in 2016. He won the first of seven Munster SFC medals in eight seasons that year.[8] O'Sullivan was at left corner-back when Kerry were beaten by Dublin in the 2019 All-Ireland final replay, but ended the season with his first All Star.[9] He won three consecutive National League medals from 2020 to 2022, having earlier won his first title in 2017. A second All Star followed in 2021, before O'Sullivan won an All-Ireland SFC medal after a defeat of Galway in the 2022 final.[10]
