Carey upbeat on Shefflin's future

DJ CAREY reckons Henry Shefflin (right) has no plans to retire from the game. While there are suggestions the nine-time All-Ireland winner and 10-time Allstar could decide to call time on his illustrious career, Carey sees things in a more positive light. "I really hope that we will see him back and I think we will. Knowing the man himself, I think we will see him back," Carey said. "I was privileged to be there with Henry when he started with Kilkenny. There is absolutely no doubt that he is the greatest player of all time. "Every Kilkenny person will want him to stay around and I don't think there is a ready-made replacement. There is nobody waiting in the wings."
