Early life and career
Born in
By the 2003–04 season, he had graduated to Arsenal's under-19 team[3] and once been an unused substitute for the reserves,[4] and had played international football for Republic of Ireland under-19s, qualifying via grandparents from Sligo,[5][6] and for England under-18s.[7] However, he became unhappy at Arsenal, chose to leave the club,[6] and after trials with clubs including Aston Villa,[8] Manchester City[9] and Leicester City,[10] he joined Birmingham City on a free transfer in January 2004.
Club career
Birmingham City and loans
Kilkenny signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Birmingham. The club's academy director felt he had "the ability to play at the highest level", and prioritised adding a "work ethic and competitiveness" to his "great technique".
At the start of the 2005–06 season he became part of the Birmingham first-team squad, though manager Steve Bruce warned him that he would not easily find his way into the team.[18] On 20 September 2005, he made his Birmingham first-team debut in the League Cup away at Scunthorpe United, as a 26th-minute substitute to replace the injured Muzzy Izzet.[19] Four days later, with six other midfielders unavailable through injury or suspension,[20] he made his full home debut against Liverpool in the Premier League, in which he was sent off late in the game for handling the ball on the goal-line, thus giving Liverpool a penalty and a 2–2 draw. Despite his dismissal, he received words of encouragement from teammates Mikael Forssell and Mario Melchiot for his performance,[18] and went on to make 25 appearances in all competitions, mainly as substitute, as Birmingham were relegated to the Championship.[21] The following season Kilkenny's appearances were infrequent; he started only two games, both in the League Cup.[22] The player became frustrated; while part of the first-team squad, he was rarely part of the first team, yet Bruce was reluctant to allow him out on loan.[23]
It was announced on 30 July 2007 that Kilkenny would again join Oldham on loan until January 2008.[24] The move was blocked following the collapse of Birmingham's purchase of Hossam Ghaly, but was confirmed a few days later.[25] His last match before he returned to Birmingham was an influential performance as Oldham beat Leeds United 3–1 to become the first team that season to win a League game at Elland Road.[26][27]
Leeds United
2007–08 season
On 4 January 2008 Kilkenny signed for League One team Leeds United on an emergency loan, with a view to ensuring his availability for the next day's game prior to completing a permanent transfer the following week.
2008–09 season
After a period out of the team and the sacking of Gary McAllister Kilkenny regained a spot in the Leeds midfield under the stewardship of new manager Simon Grayson late in the 2008–09 season.[34]
His 43rd-minute goal against Yeovil Town on 10 March 2009 was a leading contender for the goal of the season.[citation needed] He followed this up with goals in the 3–2 win against Crewe Alexandra and the 3–1 win against Tranmere Rovers.[35] Kilkenny was part of the Leeds team who were knocked out of the play-off semi-final by Millwall; he injured an ankle and was substituted in the first half of the second leg at Elland Road.[36]
2009–10 season
Doncaster made their interest in signing Kilkenny public during the summer but Grayson made it clear that he was not for sale.[37] After again missing pre-season, this time because of ankle trouble, Kilkenny found himself trying to regain fitness and a place on the bench once the season was in full flow. With seven substitutes required for the 2009–10 season, he was used mainly as an impact substitute in the early part of the season.[38]
Kilkenny started his first league game of the season in the top-of-the-table goalless draw with
Kilkenny played against
Kilkenny came back into the starting line-up for the next game against Leyton Orient after fully recovering from his injury. By the time Leeds equalised, via a 95th-minute own goal, Kilkenny had been substituted.[48][49] He played an instrumental part as Leeds were promoted to the Football League Championship after finishing second in League One and thus earning automatic promotion.[citation needed]
2010–11 season
Kilkenny scored his first goal of the 2010–11 season with a penalty in the League Cup match against Lincoln City.[50] He made several assists for Leeds in the first few weeks of the season,[citation needed] including two, for Jonny Howson and Davide Somma, in Leeds' 5–2 defeat against Barnsley.[51] After being ever-present for Leeds, Kilkenny was named on the bench for the game against Sheffield United.[52] In November, Kilkenny entered negotiations with Leeds over extending his contract[53] amid interest from other clubs.[54]
Kilkenny said in December that he was keen to sign a new contract with Leeds.
In January he repeated his desire to stay with Leeds,
Bristol City
On 16 June 2011, Kilkenny showed an interest in moving to Leeds' Yorkshire rivals Hull City.[65] On 24 June, he signed for fellow Championship team Bristol City on a three-year contract after turning down offers from Leeds and from other Championship clubs.[66] Ahead of his return to Elland Road with Bristol City on 17 September, he told the Yorkshire Evening Post he had never wanted to leave the club,[67] and in response to Leeds' chairman Ken Bates' comment that "Kilkenny wanted to leave for a big club and ended up at Bristol City", he felt that Bates "has always got something to say and sometimes he needs to keep quiet."[68] Kilkenny scored his first goal for Bristol City in that match.[69]
On 29 March 2013, Kilkenny reached his 250th career league appearance with Bristol City against Derby County.
Preston North End
Kilkenny joined Preston North End on 14 November 2013 on an initial one-month loan.[70] On 6 January 2014, he signed for the club permanently until the end of the season.[71] Kilkenny played the whole match as Preston beat Swindon Town in the 2015 League One play-off final to gain promotion to the Championship.[72]
He was released at the end of the 2015–16 season.[73]
Melbourne City
On 19 July 2016, Kilkenny joined
Kilkenny's performances over the season earned him Melbourne City's Player of the Year award for 2016–17.[76]
In January 2018, Melbourne City released Kilkenny.[77]
Perth Glory
A couple of days after being released by Melbourne City, Kilkenny joined Perth Glory.[78] On 24 February, Kilkenny scored his first goal for Perth Glory in a 2–1 victory against his former team, Melbourne City.[79]
Kilkenny spent 3+1⁄2 seasons at Perth Glory, before being released at the end of the 2020–21 season.[80]
