Career
Early years
Kiernan started his career in the youth team at Fulham, but left as a youngster to join Crystal Palace. He stayed with the club until he was 16, but was released at the end of the season in 2009.[3] He then joined the AFC Wimbledon Senior Academy at South Thames College, where he got picked for the England Colleges team.[4]
AFC Wimbledon
The midfielder made his league debut for "The Dons" in a Conference game against Crawley Town in a 3–1 defeat on 18 March 2011, coming on as a substitute for Luke Moore.[5] Kiernan only featured in one more game in the 2010–11 season in a 0–0 draw with Forest Green Rovers, which was his first League start for the club.[6] Following AFC Wimbledon's promotion to the Football league Kiernan made his football league debut on 24 September 2011 when he came on as a substitute for Luke Moore in a 2–1 win over Bradford City in League Two.[7] On 27 January 2012, Kiernan signed for Braintree Town on a one-month loan deal, making four appearances.[8] Kiernan scored his first goal in professional football in the First Round of the League Cup against Stevenage on 14 August 2012. It would only prove to be a consolation, however, as AFC Wimbledon went on to be defeated 3-1.[9] Kiernan left the "The Dons" by mutual consent on 8 April 2013.[10]
Bromley
Following his release from AFC Wimbledon, Kiernan joined Conference South side Bromley in July 2013.[11]
