For Kerry's 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship campaign he was substitute goalkeeper and although he made no appearance, as a member of the winning squad, he gained his first All Ireland Senior Football medal.
Following the retirement of Diarmuid Murphy he was widely tipped as a front runner for the No 1 shirt and started out the year by winning a McGrath Cup medal when Kerry overcame UCC in the final. He lined out for Kerry against Dublin in the opening match of the 2010 NFL campaign. However on 10 March 2010 he announced his resignation from the Kerry squad.
In October 2010, Ger was part of the Castleisland Desmonds squad who would go on to win RTÉ's Celebrity Bainisteoir competition, beating Ballymun Kickhams in a thrilling final at Parnell Park, Dublin.
In 2012 Ger was goalkeeper for Kingdom Kerry Gaels, a Senior London side based in the north of the city.
