The Irish forward made it three goals in successive matches with a strike in a 5-1 midweek victory over Stevenage. He has also developed a promising understanding in attack alongside former Dundee United man Sam Dalby.
Kenny believes his transition to life in England has been smooth. Speaking after his latest outing, the Hoops striker revealed his thoughts on his form and adaptation to the league at the Lancashire club.
He said via Daily Record: âI wouldnât say that itâs a lot different from the Scottish Premiership. Iâve been playing at Celtic Park now for the last year and at other stadiums in Scotland. Weâre going to 60,000 at Celtic Park, and now weâre coming here. I donât know what there is here, 3,000, 4,000âŠâ

âSo obviously, that part is different, but you have to control what you can control on the pitch. It canât really affect whatâs around you. You just need to focus on the pitch.â
âI came in with a calf injury, so it set me back probably two or three weeks, so I was just trying to build up to full fitness. But I have a connection on the pitch with Sam Dalby.â
âDown here, itâs probably a bit more physical than what Iâm used to up the road. Probably a bit more direct at times, but itâs something I want to learn and get used to.â
âI want to be here until the end of the season and perform and get us back to where we belong.â
