Darren Dennehy (born 21 September, 1988 in County Kerry) is an Irish professional footballer currently playing for Football League One side Gillingham, on loan from Cardiff City. His older brother Billy Dennehy currently plays for Shamrock Rovers.
Career
Dennehy began his career at Everton progressing from the youth sides,[1] but did not make a first team appearance at the club. In July 2008, Dennehy decided against extending his contract at the Merseyside club, instead signing for Championship side Cardiff City on a free transfer.[2]
Cardiff City
After not making a first team appearance at Cardiff during the season, Dennehy spent two weeks training at League One side Hereford United before signing on a one-month loan deal,[3] making his debut the following day in a 1-0 defeat against Southend United.[4] He made just two more appearances for Hereford, in consecutive 3-0 defeats to Scunthorpe United and Swindon Town, before his season was ended when he contracted glandular fever while away with the Republic of Ireland under-21 side.[5][6]
After returning to Cardiff for the remainder of the 2008–09 season he rejoined Hereford on a six-month loan deal in July 2009,[7] where he made a total of ten appearances in all competitions before returning to Cardiff in late December.[8] On 21 January he joined Football League One side Gillingham on loan.[9] He made his debut for the Gills on 23 January 2010 in a goalless draw with Colchester United and played in all seven matches he was available for during his loan spell before extending his loan deal until late April.[10]
