Born on 6 June 2003 in the Republic of Ireland, 22-year-old Johnny Kenny is a forward recognised primarily for his position as a striker for Celtic. He stands 5ft 9in (1.77m) tall and weighs 11st 2lb (71kg). He can be distinguished on the field by his number 24 jersey.
Transfermarkt sets his current market value at approximately £200k, available for reference at their website. With the clock ticking towards its expiration, Kenny's contract with Celtic is due to run out on 31 May 2026, in 11 months' time.
Kenny's career trajectory saw him first joining Sligo Rovers in the Premier Division in his native land of Rep. Ireland in January 2020. His initial season in 2021 with Sligo Rovers was commendable, with a record of 32 first team appearances together with an 11 goal contribution in league matches.
It was in January 2022 that Kenny's big move occurred. Transferring from Sligo Rovers to Celtic in the Premiership, Scotland, for a fee of around £140k, Kenny had found his new footballing home. His season 2024 - 2025 with Celtic boasted eight first team appearances and a contribution of one goal in league matches. Regrettably, the current season (2025 - 2026) has yet to yield any first team appearances in league matches for the player.
Amidst his contract with Celtic, he spent time out on loan. First, to Queen's Park in the Championship, Scotland in August 2022, where he took to the field 12 times. Kenny's next loan transfer in January 2023 saw him return to the Emerald Isles, joining Shamrock Rovers in the Premier Division. Here, across two seasons, he made 59 first team appearances and netted the ball into the net 18 times.
After his loan period, Kenny returned to Celtic in January 2025. However, his first team appearances during both the seasons 2024 - 2025 and 2025 - 2026 at Celtic were limited. Yet, he was not entirely left out — he participated in the Scottish Cup during the 2024 - 2025 season, making two appearances as a substitute.
