Shea Kearney

In 2025-26, Shea Kearney was a regular part of Dunfermline Athletic’s Championship squad, making 28 league appearances with 17 starts and 11 from the bench. His wider workload reached 37 appearances across the Championship, League Cup, Scottish Cup and Premiership play-offs, with the split between starts and substitute use pointing to a right back trusted for coverage and rotation rather than a fixed every-week role.

Kearney is 22, a right back from N. Ireland and plays for Dunfermline Athletic with a €200k market value. His senior path is still narrow: Cliftonville was the platform from 2022 before Dunfermline became his next club in 2025, so the profile reads as early-career progression rather than a settled long-term résumé.

The standout transaction is July 2025’s six-figure move from Cliftonville to Dunfermline Athletic. That came three years after his move into Cliftonville, and the paid deal suggests Dunfermline were buying a developing player rather than taking a low-risk free-transfer punt.
