Club career

Early career

Kean started his football career at Derby County before moving to Blackburn Rovers towards the end of the 2008–09 season.

Hartlepool United

Kean joined Hartlepool United in September 2010 in a month-long loan deal.[2][3] He made his debut on 18 September in a 0–0 away draw with Brentford.[4] He kept 10 clean sheets during his four-month spell at Victoria Park.

Rochdale

Kean signed for Rochdale on loan for the entire 2011–12 season.[5] Kean's loan was cut short in November when Blackburn recalled him because of an injury to Paul Robinson.

Return to Rovers

He returned to Rovers because of the injury to first choice Robinson and was back up to Mark Bunn for a few games, near to the end of the season he was permantly on the bench due to an injury to Bunn. On 13 May, he made his Premier League debut away to Chelsea in goal due to injuries to both Robinson and Bunn, this also meant both sides played second choice goalkeepers with Ross Turnbull deputising for Petr Cech in the opposite goal. Blackburn lost the game 2–1 with goals for Chelsea scored by John Terry and Raul Meireles, and Yakubu scoring for Rovers.[6] Midway through the 2012–13 season in the championship, Kean has taken the starting spot over Paul Robinson, and kept 3 clean sheets in wins over Derby County, Bristol City and Ipswich Town. He played a key part in Blackburn's shock 1–0 win against Arsenal in the FA Cup 5th round. He kept a clean sheet and made crucial saves that kept Blackburn in the game.
