Matty Kennedy, born on 1 November 1994 (age 31), is a Northern Ireland winger whose career has been shaped by the usual hard yards of early loan football. Those spells gave him senior minutes at the point when wide players either add substance to their game or remain tidy but peripheral.
His most productive league season came with St Johnstone in 2018-2019, when he scored six goals in 36 appearances. That was a useful return rather than a headline act, but it showed a player capable of contributing regularly rather than living on flashes.
Kennedy now plays primarily on the left wing for Kilmarnock. His career has been that of a steady established professional: loan grounding early on, a strong season at St Johnstone, and a continued place in Scottish football without the need for much embroidery.
