Johnny Kenny, born on the 6th of June 2003, is an Irish talisman hailing straight out of the Republic of Ireland. Serving Celtic with distinction as a forward, Kenny primarily wears the title of a striker under his belt. His stalwart frame stands at about 5 feet 9 inches (1.77m) tall, allowing him to tower over many of his opponents. Weighing approximately 11 stones 2 pounds (71kg), he is a force to be reckoned with on the field as he charges with the number 24 on his jersey. Apart from Celtic, Kenny's football prowess has earned him a spot in the ranks of the Republic of Ireland national team.
A source indicates that his prowess on the pitch is currently estimated at a considerable £511k in the market, a testament to his dexterity. You can observe his stats here on Transfermarkt.
Charting the course of Kenny's football journey, in January 2020, he had joined the path of Sligo Rovers within the Premier Division of the Republic of Ireland. Using this opportunity to polish his football skills, by his debut season in 2021, Kenny had presented a spectacular performance with 32 first team appearances and 11 goals to his credit.
By January 2022, Kenny had set sail from his previous station at Sligo Rovers towards the shores of the Scottish Premiership, entering the ranks of our esteemed Celtic for a sum of approximately £119k. During his service in the 2024-2025 season at Celtic, Kenny honoured the colours by making 8 appearances and netting one goal in league matches. He has currently graced the football ground 11 times and scored 4 goals for the club within the 2025-2026 season.
In a twist of fate, Kenny was transferred temporarily to Queen's Park in the Championship, Scotland, on loan during August 2022. During his period here, he left his signature by making 12 first team appearances.
January 2023 saw another transfer for the Irish lad, this time back to his homeland with Shamrock Rovers in the Premier Division of the Republic of Ireland. Making the most of his season there, he left an impressive mark with 30 first team show-outs and five goals netted. In 2024, Kenny continued his spree with 29 appearances and 13 goals, further establishing his name in the league.
Come January 2025, Celtic saw the return of its prodigal son as Kenny returned on completion of his loan spell. He made his presence felt by scoring 4 goals with 19 first team appearances across 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 seasons. Kenny was also not a mere spectator in tournaments like the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Celtic, World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024 - 2026 for the Republic of Ireland, and the Europa League 2025 - 2026 for Celtic.
