Crowley's absence this summer will be a major blow to Kerry manager Peter Keane. He was a regular for the Kingdom throughout their run to the National League final against Mayo.
Walk with us from Darkness Into Light on May 11. Register here to help raise funds for Pieta House and the vital support services they provide in the battle against suicide and self-harm.
The 28-year-old, who made his inter-county debut in 2012, was part of the 2014 All-Ireland winning Kerry team.
Terrible news that Peter Crowley will miss the rest of the season with a cruciate knee injury - wishing him all the best on his road to recovery 👍 - we spoke to his club yesterday and it was felt that the news was not that bad but a subsequent scan confirmed the cruciate injury
