Kennedy relishing playing for Keane

FORMER Ireland international Mark Kennedy says playing for old team-mate Roy Keane was one of the primary reasons for swapping Cardiff City for Ipswich Town this summer.

Kennedy, 34, joined Keane’s Tractor Boys for a fee of £75,000 a week ago, signing a two-year contract.

The former Liverpool, Man City and Wolves man, paraded along with fellow new signing Márton Fülöp at Portman Road yesterday, says the chance to be reunited with Keane was too good to turn down. “The opportunity for me to work under Roy as a manager was of huge importance.
