When Kieran went to Parkwood Primary School he started to play football. There he showed what talent he was already as a young boy. In the schoolteam he was choosed by the the captain of the team. This had benefits for Kieran when he later was picked out as one of them who got a chance to practice with Arsenal Fc together with other talents.

Already in his first game with the new team he scored, wich led to a breakthrough for him. He come to play a very large role for the team`s continued play.
When the team of England where on there way to USA 2005, were Kieran picked out to the team in the last minute. In spite of that he did two goals in the game against USA. Plus a goal on a freekick that went straight into the cage.
2006 he said no to further loan with West Bromwich, with a thought to take a regular place in Manchester United an play on Old Trafford. He returned to Englnad U-21 for a European Championship qualifying match.

Despite that Kieran has had problems with taking a regular place in the first 11 players. At the beginning he had it tough to prove that he was qualify for a position in the first 11 in Manchester United. But when he now and then replaced Gabriel Heinze on the left defensive when he was injured, or as a midfielder when some one else were missing on that position, he showed was he was going for. During the fallseason 2006 he finally got his chanses to show his talents in the League Cup.
Kierans strenght is foremost that he is very fast and technical. But he is even very easy to grow. His weakness is in his problems to get a regular position in the first 11 in Manchester United.
