Conor Kenna Biography

Conor Kenna is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on August 21, 1984 in Dublin, Ireland. Conor Kenna (born 21 August 1984) is a retired Irish footballer who was a centre back.

Kenna started his League of Ireland career with Shelbourne where Kenna was a major player in the Reds Under 21 squad and briefly a member of the first team. He quit Shels before the start of the 2004 League of Ireland season to join First Division UCD for whom helped them climb up into the Premier Division with a 2nd-place finishing. His main role was centre back but he was also able to play often as a left-back for UCD despite being right-footed. Kenna was a very successful center back partnership with Alan McNally in a defence which conceded the fourth lowest number of goals during the entire 2006 League of Ireland season. Kenna was selected for an Irish U-21 team in 2005 but was forced to pull out due to injuries. He was named UCD captain during the preseason of 2008, replacing the departing Tony McDonnell. The striker scored the first goal in a competitive match in the UCD side’s first competitive game UCD during a 3-1 loss at Derry City on 7 March 2008.

2011 looked to be a promising season for the Saints but his footballing career came into doubt when he sustained an injury to a tendon in his knee in the second league game of the season against Bray Wanderers at Richmond Park on 11 March. He returned from his long injury setback in a 0–0 draw away to Sligo Rovers on 27 July, Kenna wasn’t expected to return so early as he was still building up his fitness but Mahon was forced to play him due to players being tired from a tough game against FC Shakhter Karagandy and he lasted the first 68 minutes before being replaced by Brian Shortall. Kenna went on to regain his place in the starting line up, pushing Shortall to the bench. Kenna scored in a 1–0 win over Sligo at Richmond Park in a huge match in the 2011 title run-in After Kenna returned from injury his performances were just a shadow of his 2010 performances which many fans put down to finding his feet again after the long period without playing games.

Indeed, they were correct as Kenna regained his excellent form in defence and the Saints found themselves with 3 clean sheets and just 2 goals conceded after the first 5 games of the 2012 season. Kenna played a big part in Pats’ 2012 Europa League campaign, playing every game and setting up Stephen O’Flynn’s goal against Íþróttabandalag Vestmannaeyja in extra-time at the Hásteinsvöllur, Iceland and also setting up Christy Fagan’s winning goal in extra-time against NK Široki Brijeg from Bosnia and Herzegovina at Richmond Park to earn a tie against Hannover 96, whom he played against in the 49,000 seater AWD-Arena. He captained the Pats side in their first ever appearance at the Aviva Stadium in the 2012 FAI Cup Final on 4 November 2012, but unfortunately for Kenna and the Saints, they lost 3–2 after extra time to Derry City meaning the club’s FAI Cup drought was extended to 52 years.

Following UCD’s fall into the First Division at the end of the 2008 season Kenna joined Drogheda United in February 2009. Kenna played 38 games and scored five goals in the league of Drogheda in 2009, as the Louth club maintained its Premier Division status.
