Johnny Kenny, born on 6 June 2003 and currently aged 21, hails from the Republic of Ireland. This young lad serves as a forward, primarily operating under the designation of a striker for Shamrock Rovers. With regard to his physical characteristics, he stands at 5ft 9in (approximately 1.77m) and tips the scales at 11st 2lb (around 71kg).

Making an assertive debut in the 2021 season, Kenny graced the pitch in no less than 32 first team matches, during which he contributed 11 goals to his team's tally.
January 2022 witnessed another milestone in Kenny's career, as he was transferred from Sligo Rovers to the renowned Celtic, a Premiership team in Scotland, with the transaction fees being approximately £140k. His tenure at Celtic, however, was somewhat brief.
