Callum Ewan Kennedy (born 9 November 1989) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Dorking Wanderers.
Born in Chertsey, Surrey,[1] Kennedy made his professional debut for Swindon Town at home to Brentford, in a 4–1 win in the Football League Trophy on 4 September 2007.
[3] He was handed his Football League debut by caretaker manager David Byrne in a 1–1 draw at home to Carlisle United on 6 December 2008.
[3] He made one more appearance during the 2008–09 season, an away loss to Yeovil, when he came on as a substitute after 24 minutes and played in an unfamiliar left midfield position after an injury to Hal Robson-Kanu.
[9] 4 games later Kennedy came on as a second-half substitute against Walsall and put in an impressive performance that boosted his hopes of getting a starting place in the first team.
[19] With Swindon making an indifferent start, di Canio brought Liam Ridehalgh in on loan from Huddersfield Town on 28 September 2011.
It wasn't until the turn of the year when Kennedy again made the starting eleven, appearing in four consecutive victories,[19] including a famous win over Premier League side Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup.
[22] After appearing in a big 4–1 win at promotion chasing Southend[23] and then helping Swindon to the 2012 Football League Trophy Final the following week, Kennedy made just two more starts over the next two months as during the buildup to the Wembley final, di Canio signed Jay McEveley on loan from Barnsley and thrust him straight into the starting eleven.
[29] At the end of the 2012–13 season, Kennedy was made available by the newly relegated Scunthorpe and it looked like he would sign for Oxford United, but the deal fell through on 20 June 2013.
[33] At the end of that season Kennedy was released by Neal Ardley, however was allowed to continue training over the summer with the Dons and appeared in a number of pre-season fixtures.
[35] On 30 May 2016 Kennedy was a member of the AFC team that beat Plymouth Argyle 2–0 at Wembley Stadium to win the EFL League Two play-offs.
