Johnny Kenny, a native of the Republic of Ireland, was born on June 6, 2003, making him 22 years of age. Since January 2022, he has served primarily as a forward and striker for Celtic Football Club. Kenny stands 5 feet 9 inches (1.77 metres) tall and tips the scales at 11 stone 2 pounds (71 kg). His presence on the field is identified by his number 24 jersey. Intriguingly, Kenny's talents extend beyond club representation as he's also graced the national stage with the Republic of Ireland team.
As per the evaluation on Transfermarkt, Kenny currently holds a market value around the mark of £340,000.
Kenny's football career took flight in earnest in January 2020, when he joined Sligo Rovers in the Premier Division in his homeland. His debut season in 2021 saw him impress with 32 first team appearances and 11 goals under his belt in league matches.
A shift of scenery saw Kenny transfer to Celtic in Scotland’s Premiership in January 2022, for an approximate fee of £140,000. He quickly proved his mettle during the seasons of 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, making a combined sixteen appearances in the first team with five goals to his name.
Used to being on the move, Kenny was loaned to Queen's Park in the Scottish Championship in August 2022, and later in January 2023, saw himself move to Shamrock Rovers back home in Ireland. During these stints, he made impressive contributions with a tally of 71 first team appearances and 18 goals.
Upon the completion of his loan to Shamrock Rovers in January 2025, Celtic welcomed their forward back. Kenny resumed his solid performance in the 2024-2025 and ongoing 2025-2026 seasons, with an additional twelve appearances and five goals to his credit.
Kenny also enjoyed participation in several competitions during his Celtic tenure thus far. In the League Cup 2025-2026, he booted one goal in two starts. He further represented the Republic of Ireland in the World Cup Qualifiers Europe 2024-2026, and saw action in the Europa League 2025-2026 for Celtic both as a starter and a substitute.
