Biography

Kennedy, an Indigenous Australian, played as a centre at Balmain for three seasons, from 1996 to 1998. He was the club's leading try scorer in each of his first two seasons and made 61 first-grade appearances in total.

In 1997, Kennedy came off the bench and scored a try in NSW Country's 17-4 win over City in the annual City vs Country Origin representative fixture.
