Johnny Kenny, born on 6 June 2003 (currently aged 21), hails from the Republic of Ireland. He is recognised as a forward and fulfils his role primarily as a striker for Scottish football titan, Celtic. Measuring 5ft 9in (or 1.77m) in height and weighing 11st 2lb (about 71kg), Kenny sports his talent in jersey number 24.
According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is approximately £190k. His contract with Celtic, with a time left of 1 year and 3 months, is etched to terminate on 31 May 2026.
In the frosty month of January 2020, Kenny bounded off to join Sligo Rovers, a club competing in the Premier Division in the Republic of Ireland. During his stint in the debut season of 2021 at Sligo Rovers, Kenny featured in 32 first-team games, netting 11 goals in league encounters.
January 2022 marked the point when he was whisked away from Sligo Rovers and transferred to Celtic in the Premiership for a fee slapped at around £140k. Despite it being the current season of 2024-2025, Kenny has rolled up for Celtic in merely four first team skirmishes in league matches thus far.
In August 2022, Kenny decided to set sail from Celtic to Queen's Park, competing in the Championship in Scotland, although only on loan. In the 2022-2023 season at Queen's Park, he made his mark in 12 first-team league matches. January 2023 witnessed another transition, from Celtic to Shamrock Rovers in the Premier Division in his home country, again on a loan contract this time.
During the 2023 season, Kenny graced the Shamrock Rovers’ field 30 times, swatting five goals into the nets. In the following season, he made 29 appearances, all the while adding 13 goals to his total. However, as January 2025 reared its head, Kenny was pulled back from Shamrock Rovers and reinstated at Celtic at the conclusion of his loan.
In the swirling currents of the current season 2024-2025, Kenny showed his professionalism and skills through four first-team appearances in league games for Celtic. He also had a chance to demonstrate his worth in the Scottish Cup 2024-2025 for Celtic, although only granted a single appearance as a substitute thus far.
