After a long break following the break through of Joe Murphy, Peter Kennedy could well be next big thing goalkeeping wise to come through the Tranmere youth system, and in John Achterberg, he has the perfect coach. 

Following in the footsteps of the likes of the aforementioned Murphy, Danny Coyne and Steve Simonson, Kennedy is in good company and definitely has the ability to match if not better those three ‘keepers. 

Although not particularly tall for a goalkeeper, Kennedy is an increadible shot-stopper, particularly from point blank range, as he is able often to make himself big and thwart opposition efforts.  Good at getting to balls that are low down or in the corners, Kennedy is extremely vocal and therefore is good at organising his defence.

The reserve ‘keeper spot is all Kennedy's now after the release of Shane McWeeney at the end of the 2007/08 season, and the youngster has already had a taste of the Prenton Park action as he was the substitute ‘keeper for Tranmere's home friendly against Blackpool in pre-season 2008.
