Kennedy joining York City last week flew under the radar but he's fully focussed on kicking his career on after. afew false starts.

This wasn’t in the career plan. Further loans at Raith Rovers, Dunfermline, Hamilton Accies and Falkirk followed. And before he knew it the youngster was being released. “But when contract talks stalled, everything went up in the air. I was back down to the academy and sent on loan. “Everyone spoke about me a lot at 17, 18 – and I lost it. I wouldn’t say it went to my head or that I thought I’d made it. I knew I had miles to go.
“It was the last day of the transfer window and during Covid times. Because I was the last player signed, they put me in a house myself – not sharing with any other boys. “Going to Arbroath away with Inverness, for example, was just horrible. It would be a hard game for any player like me, with the skill set I have. I’m not tall, I’m tricky and need to see the ball.
