He was reunited with Warnock in 2002 after he joined Sheffield United where he spent much of his career and enjoyed notable success; performing in League Cup and FA Cup Semi-Finals, two Play-Off Finals, a promotion and the Blades' subsequent first Premier League campaign for twelve years in 2006.Kenny would later sign for Warnock once again in 2010, joining Queens Park Rangers after his time at Sheffield United ended on a sour note when he spent much of his final season on the sidelines after failing a drugs test the previous summer. During his first season at the Rs, he would achieve his second promotion to the Premier League, picking up Players' and Fans' Player of the Year awards and a Championship winners medal on the way. He remained as first choice goalkeeper the next season as QPR beat relegation on the final day of the season and was reunited with Warnock for the fourth time when he signed for Leeds in 2012.Upon his return to Leeds for pre-season training for the 2014/15 season it emerged that Kenny had fallen out of favour with new owner Massimo Cellino. Kenny was left out of Leeds' pre-season training camp in Italy and was replaced in the squad by former Arsenal and Aston Villa goalkeeper Stuart Taylor.
