Boyle Kerr is a three-time Ulster champion with Donegal.
Donegal's Amy Boyle-Carr insists her full focus will be on completing the inter-county season with Donegal ahead of a move to Australia.
Naomh Conaill will join AFLW team Adelaide Crows as a new player in August ahead of the season.
Until then, the three-time Ulster champions are determined to finish the season strong in Donegal.
“The first thing I told them was that my commitment was to Donegal,” she said.
“That was very important to me. [inter-county season] When I'm done I'll be theirs but for now I'll focus on Donegal and when I get out of there I'll switch there. ”
The 23-year-old has been part of Donegal's senior set-up since 2018 and is targeting more silverware ahead of her move Down Under.
“The All-Ireland final is at the beginning of August so we will be hoping to play after that. Everything is going well with Donegal.”

Boyle-Carr will move to Aussie Rules later this year, but her career could have taken a very different path.
Boyle-Carr was a talented footballer but stopped playing in 2019 to focus on GAA with Donegal.
She made her debut for Ireland in April 2018 at the age of 17 in a FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Netherlands at Tara Stadium.
Boyle-Carr played in the first half of the 2-0 defeat to the Netherlands, managed by Sarina Wigman, alongside current Republic captain Katie McCabe and midfielder Denis O'Sullivan, who has more than 100 caps for his country. .
The former midfielder still looks back fondly on his surprise solo cap for his country and admitted he had planned to attend the match as a fan.
“My mom and I were buying tickets to go to the game,” she recalled.
“I was in Portugal for a camp with my seniors, but after that I thought I shouldn't really participate.At that time, I got a ticket, so my mom and I said let's go together.'' she explained.
“Of course, I didn't know if I would be on the panel, so I thought about it just in case. Even though I was on the panel, I never thought I would be in the starting team, let alone the squad on the day of the match.” ! ”
“The players were phenomenal, including the players on the Dutch team that day. Lieke Martens was there.” [current PSG forward], just before that she was named UEFA Women's Player of the Year. She was a great experience. ”
“It's still in our hands.”
Boyle Carr's Donegal side currently sit third in Division Two, five points behind leaders Kildare.
Boyle-Carr returns to inter-county football and aims to help Donegal qualify for the National Football League Division Two finals.
After wins over Laois and Westmeath, Donegal lost to top-flight Kildare and recently drew with Ulster rivals Monaghan, so their hopes are in jeopardy.
This leaves them in third place, five points behind Kildare, ahead of Saturday's clash with second-placed Tyrone.
A win would put them level on points with Red Hand, but coach Boyle-Carr expects it to be a tough matchup.
“It was a difficult game against Monaghan. It was disappointing to only get one point,” she admitted.
“Our goal for the league is to get to the league finals and get promoted to Division One.
“Tyrone are second, just above us, but technically it's still in our hands if we can get a result against them.
“We know Tyrone is going to be tough. They have very good players like Maria Canavan and she's doing well. We know she's going to be a threat, but we're looking forward to the challenge. I have to.”
