Kieran Cooney was confirmed as the latest signing for Kerry FC on Sunday after a spell with Finn Harps.

A Saint Kitts and Nevis International, the 21-year-old made 13 appearances for the Ballybofey-based side after joining in July 2025.

The defender scored once for the Harps, in a 1-0 win over his new club down in Mounthawk Park in August.

Cooney, who turns 21 on Tuesday, becomes Colin Healy’s latest addition to his First Team squad, who begin their league campaign in just under four weeks with a trip to UCD.

Kieran Cooney said, “I’m really happy to have signed for Kerry ahead of the new season. After training with the lads and speaking to Colin prior to signing, I knew this move would be right for me in my own development and career. I am looking forward to a great season ahead and playing in front of all the Kerry fans.”
