Career

Personal life

His grandfather Paddy Kennedy was a footballer having plyed his trade at Manchester United, Oldham Athletic and Blackburn Rovers.

Club career

Kennedy started his career at Manchester City, but despite being a regular in their Elite Development Squad he found first-team opportunities hard to come by. He joined Leicester City on loan during the 2013–14 season,[1] mainly playing in their under-21 squad. At the end of that season, Leicester chose to sign him permanently, however the next season he struggled to break into their first-team squad, with the club newly promoted to the English Premier League. He was released by Leicester at the end of the 2014–15 season.

Kennedy initially joined Motherwell on a trial basis, but impressed in pre-season games against Borussia Monchengladbach and Heerenveen to convince boss Ian Baraclough to sign him on a two year deal.[2] Kennedy made his first-ever start in competitive football in a 3–1 extra-time win against East Fife in the Scottish League Cup.[3]

International career

Kennedy has also featured for the England Under-19's team.
