The 38-year-old began his youth career with the club at the age of 11 before joining Ballinamallard United and Tottenham Hotspur later on.

"The children didn’t hold back when asking their questions! Some even asking to be signed!"
A later post added: "Just a casual Saturday at the Pavilion when Ipswich Town Football Club Manager and former ‘Town’ player Kieran McKenna makes an appearance and talks tactics with the players!
"Well done everybody on a hugely successful 2023/24 season. We are lucky to have had a fantastic morning with one of the best."
McKenna also visited Fermanagh Cumann na mBunscol, who promote Gaelic games to young boys and girls in Fermanagh primary schools, receiving a copy of a book that recalls the early days of his playing career.
