Brendan James Kiernan (born 10 November 1992) is an English semi-professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League club Bromley. He spent his early youth career at Fulham and Crystal Palace before joining AFC Wimbledon at the age of 16. He made his league debut for AFC Wimbledon as a substitute on 18 March 2011, at the age of 18.

Career

Early years

Kiernan started his career in the youth team at Fulham, but left as a youngster to join Crystal Palace. He stayed with the club until he was 16, but was released at the end of the season in 2009.[1] He then joined the AFC Wimbledon Senior Academy at South Thames College, where he got picked for the England Colleges team.[2]

AFC Wimbledon

The midfielder made his league debut for "The Dons" in a Conference game against Crawley Town in a 3–1 defeat on 18 March 2011, coming on as a substitute for Luke Moore.[3] Kiernan only featured in one more game in the 2010–11 season, a 0–0 draw with Forest Green Rovers, which was his first League start for the club, securing a place in the Conference play-offs.[4] Following AFC Wimbledon's promotion to the Football league Kiernan made his football league debut on 24 September 2011 when he came on as a substitute for Luke Moore in a 2–1 win over Bradford City in League Two.[5] On 27 January 2012, Kiernan signed for Braintree Town on a one-month loan deal, making four appearances in total.[6] Kiernan scored his first goal in professional football in the First Round of the League Cup against Stevenage on 14 August 2012. It would only prove to be a consolation, however, as AFC Wimbledon went on to be defeated 3–1.[7] Having broken into the first team under manager Terry Brown at the start of the 2012 season, Kiernan left the club by mutual consent on 8 April 2013 under new manager Neal Ardley.[8]

Bromley

Following his departure from AFC Wimbledon, Kiernan joined his local club Conference South side Bromley in July 2013. After impressing in pre-season, he scored on his debut, netting the first goal in a 2–0 away victory against Hayes and Yeading United on 17 August 2013. A week later, he scored Bromley's third goal in a 5–1 win over local rivals Tonbridge Angels.[9] His next goal came on 7 December, in a 3–0 home win over Farnborough. He assisted 14 goals in the league during the 2013/14 season.

Ebbsfleet United

On 5 June 2015, Kiernan's contract with Ebbsfleet expired and he chose to pursue other opportunities for the coming season. His league campaign had been disrupted by injury but starred in the run to the quarter final's of the F A trophy, scoring against Welling and in beating Forest Green. .[10] Following his departure from the club, he had brief spells with Lingfield and Hayes & Yeading.

Hampton & Richmond FC

On 29 September 2015, it was announced Kiernan would return to Bromley on a non-contract basis.[citation needed] He made his return debut on the same day against Dover Athletic in the Kent Senior Cup.[citation needed]and played against Boreham Wood in the league. Brendan decided to signed for Hampton and Richmond FC of the Ryman League in October 2015, going on to make 31 appearances, scoring 12 goals and 15 assists, helping Hampton to win the league and promotion to the conference South.
