Josh Kennet

Joshua Simon Kennet (; born 27 September 1987) is an English footballer currently with London Lions.

Early and personal life Kennet is Jewish, and was born to a Jewish family in Camden, England. His father Eilon was born in Israel, and manages London Maccabi Lions A. Josh grew up in North London, and attended Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kingsbury. He showed early signs of ability in most sports particularly in football. He represented London schools in football and athletics. Kennet's brother, Ricky, plays for London Lions and represented the United Kingdom at the 2007 European Maccabiah Games in Rome, Italy.

Kennet has also become an Israeli citizen. On 1 January 2007 Kennet made his league debut for Oxford against Exeter City. After the arrival of Jim Smith, opportunities in the first team were few and far between and Kennet spent most of his time on the bench and playing for the reserves. Kennet then joined neighbouring team Didcot Town on loan.

On 3 October 2008 Kennet was named to a preliminary list of 23 players to represent the United Kingdom at the 2009 Maccabiah Games. He played for the United Kingdom in Israel at the 2013 Maccabiah Games, and at the 2017 Maccabiah Games, winning a silver medal.
