Kevin lived with Collingwood's football operations manager Geoff Walsh and his family.
[1] He played 13 games for Collingwood's reserves in the Victorian Football League and looked likely for a senior call-up after some good form, however a severe rupture of his hamstring ruled him out for the 2008 season.
A recurrence of the hamstring injury in the 2009 pre-season ruled Dyas out of selection contention for the majority of his second season.
Due to this run of hamstring trouble and homesickness he decided to return home after the 2009 season.
In 2009, Dyas returned to Ireland and joined back up with Armagh GAA under the guidance of Down man Paddy O'Rourke.
