Johnny Kenny, born 6th June 2003 and currently 21 years of age, is a striker hailing from the Republic of Ireland, perceived on the field in the hooped number 24 shirt for Celtic Football Club. This young man stands at a modest 5ft 9in (1.77m) and weighs in at 11st 2lb (71kg).
Based on Transfermarkt, his current market value is indicated to be around £193k. As of now, his contractual obligations to Celtic are set to expire on 31st May, 2026; a mere one year and three months in our future.
Looking back to January 2020, before our lad joined Celtic, he trotted out for Sligo Rovers in the League of Ireland Premier Division. Though it was his debut stint, his performance was nothing short of striking, boasting 11 goals in 32 first team appearances in the 2021 season.
The following year, in January 2022, Kenny made a northward move from Sligo Rovers to our beloved Celtic for a price of £140k. Although his present season (2024 - 2025) at Celtic has seen him register just four league appearances, his prior performances paint a promising picture.
The journey wasn't always straightforward, though. In August 2022, Kenny was farmed out on loan to Queen's Park in the Scottish Championship, where he saw action in twelve league matches. His next loan, in January 2023, took him back to his kinfolk at Shamrock Rovers in the League of Ireland Premier Division. His tenure with the Rovers was bountiful, featuring in 59 league games and netting 18 times in two seasons (2023 and 2024).
January 2025 saw the prodigal son return from Shamrock Rovers, gracing Celtic Park once again. He has had four outings for the first team in league matches during the current season (2024 - 2025). Adding to his experience with Celtic, he contended in the Scottish Cup 2024 - 2025, featuring in one match as a substitute.
It can be said without hesitation that Johnny Kenny, in his short career so far, has made a fair journey across leagues. This lad clearly has more to offer Celtic in the years to come. We await with keen interest.
