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, 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. Kennedy made his first-ever start in competitive football in a 3–1 extra-time win against East Fife in the Scottish League Cup.
On 23 March 2017, preceding his release from Motherwell, Kennedy returned to England and joined National League North side AFC Fylde.
On 21 July 2017 after leaving AFC Fylde he joined fellow National League side Macclesfield Town.

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