Killian Brennan (born January 31, 1984 in Drogheda, Republic of Ireland) is an Irish footballer player currently with the League of Ireland club Bohemian F.C..
[edit] Career
Noted for his tricky wing play and ability to fire in accurate crosses, Brennan was signed by Peterborough United in his teenage years. In 2004, he was capped several times for the Republic of Ireland under-19s, before moving back to play in the League of Ireland. He was signed by John Gill for Dublin City F.C., however, less than a year later, newly appointed boss Roddy Collins' 'purge' of the club meant that Brennan was deemed surplus to requirements. Immediately snapped up by Stephen Kenny for Derry City in the 2004 season, the player was a revelation and made the left wing spot at The Brandywell his own after having made his debut in a home game against St. Patrick's Athletic on 23 September, 2004. He has also been deployed to fill in at left full-back on occasion. It is this abundant talent that has attracted the attention of his hometown club, Drogheda United F.C. who declared their interest in Brennan following the end of the 2006 season. However, it was Bohs who captured his signature, signing the winger on a free transfer.
Brennan scored his debut goals for his new club in United Park versus his hometown club, netting a freekick and a penalty in a 2-1 win for Bohs. He continued his good form netting 5 times in May 2008 and this didn't go unnoticed as he was awarded Soccer Writers' Association of Ireland player of the month for May.[1]
[edit] Trivia
- During the 2006 season, the printed name on Brennan's Derry City jersey was misspelled as 'Brennen'.
