The young midfielder was signed from Welling United in June 2025. He joined Colchester United as a 10-year-old and progressed through their youth system all the way into the first-team, making his senior debut in August 2021, eventually going on to feature seven times in all for the U’s. 

He played on loan for Braintree Town in 2022/23 before becoming a big part of Welling United’s marked improvement in the latter part of 2023/24, ultimately saving the Wings from relegation that season. He then joined Welling on a permanent basis and started more than 40 games in this division through 2024/25. 

Although his qualities lie as a predominantly defensive midfielder, the all-action Kennedy boasted a haul of eight goals and five assists last season.
