Career

Rangers

Lennon started off his career as a midfielder but changed to a striker, becoming a regular for the Rangers reserve team. He made his debut for the Rangers first team in a Scottish Premier League match against Inverness on December 27, 2006, coming on as a substitute for Nacho Novo.^{[citation needed]}

Lennon became known as a prolific goalscorer, scoring numerous goals for Rangers' under-19s in the 2006–07 season including a hat-trick in a 3–3 draw with Dundee United.^{[citation needed]} He then scored a hat-trick in Rangers' 5–0 defeat of rivals Celtic in the Scottish Youth Cup final on April 26, 2007.

On the December 3, 2007, Lennon signed a new contract that was to have seen him tied to the club until at least 2010.

Lennon joined Partick Thistle on loan on August 16, 2008. The deal lasted until 26 January 2009.

Lennon subsequently joined English club Lincoln City on loan on February 1, 2010. The loan deal covered the period until the end of the 2009–10 season. Lennon was offered a permanent deal at Lincoln at the end of the season and despite stating he would be delighted to sign for the Imps on a permanent basis, he complained that he couldn't find anywhere to live in the City and missed Chris Sutton's deadline. Sutton withdrew the offer and Lennon returned to Rangers, where he was released at the end of his contract.

Dundalk

In July 2010 Lennon signed for Dundalk until the end of the Irish season, although he broke his foot less than a month into the deal.

Newport County

In February 2011 Lennon signed for Newport County, where he was reunited with former Dundalk players Wayne Hatswell and Tom Miller. He rejected contract offer in May 2011.

Fram Reykjavik
