The 26-year-old refuted an Irish newspaper report that he would quit the AFL next year and link with his old Gaelic football club Kerry.
Kennelly - out of contract at the end of the 2009 season - is quoted in The Irish Mail saying he will seek an All-Ireland title with Kerry.
"I'm definitely going home next year to try to win an All-Ireland medal," the Irish newspaper reads.
However, Kennelly has since confirmed that a Gaelic football return is in his long-term plans.
"It's totally wrong. I'm signed with the Swans for two years, it's a misreport that has come from home," he said in Brisbane ahead of Saturday night's clash with the Lions at the Gabba.
"I've clarified it already with the club. I'm signed with them for two years and that's when I will decide what I am going to do with my future."
Kennelly said he wishes to one day emulate his late father Tim, who was an All-Ireland champion with Kerry.
"Definitely (I will return to Ireland)," he said.
"My father was a very successful Gaelic footballer. It (All-Ireland medal) has been something I've wanted to do my whole life, my whole career.
"I'll definitely go home and have a crack at trying to win an All-Ireland medal."
Until then, he's committed to the Swans.
