Jonjoe Kenny, born on 6 June 2003, in the Republic of Ireland, is a 21-year-old striker who currently plays for Shamrock Rovers. Standing at 5ft 9in (1.77m) and weighing 11st 2lb (71kg), Kenny primarily operates in the forward line.
In January 2020, Kenny made a noteworthy move to Sligo Rovers in the Premier Division of the Republic of Ireland. His inaugural 2021 season at Sligo Rovers proved productive, with Kenny making 32 first-team appearances and netting 11 goals in league matches.
A subsequent transfer in January 2022 saw him moving from Sligo Rovers to Celtic, a prominent club in the Scottish Premiership. This transition came at a cost of around £140,000. However, a change in scenario unfolded a few months later in August 2022, resulting in Kenny being loaned from Celtic to Queen's Park in the Scottish Championship. A moderate season followed, with Kenny taking to the field 12 times in league matches.
The January of 2023 brought about another transition for Kenny, this time he was loaned to Shamrock Rovers in the Premier Division of his homeland - the Republic of Ireland. Here, Kenny found his feet quickly, making 30 first-team appearances and scoring five goals in the 2023 season. His impressive form continues in the current 2024 season, where he has already made 26 first-team appearances and scored 12 goals in league matches.
Kenny's performances extend beyond league matches; he also participated in the Champions League Qualifiers 2024 - 2025 for Shamrock Rovers, scoring two goals from two starts and making one substitute appearance. His involvement in the FAI Cup 2024 for Shamrock Rovers consisted of one substitute appearance, and he also had a solid start in the Conference League 2024 - 2025 for Shamrock Rovers.
Despite his short stint at Celtic and no remarkable contribution to candle the hoops' legacy, Kenny's career trajectory shows promise, with his performances improving steadily with every passing season.
