The tricky 26-year-old is comfortable on either wing, and
signed for the Moors amid interest from several other clubs.
But he is no stranger to Ainsley
or to Spennymoor. McKenna discussed potentially joining the Moors in January,
before eventually becoming a Chester player for the second half of 2018/19.
But the Burnley native left the
Blues at the end of the season and interest was immediately re-ignited from the
Spennymoor management team.
He caught their eye when he
scored the winner against the Moors in August whilst playing for Bradford Park
Avenue, where he scored 5 goals in the first half of the season.
The second half of the campaign
was less fruitful with the Blues, where he made 9 appearances and scored once.
McKenna started his career with
home-town club Burnley, but it was with Carlisle United that he turned pro and
made his senior debut in 2010.
He was loaned out to Annan
Athletic from Carlisle in 2012, before spells for Workington, Stalybridge
Celtic, Southport, Stockport and Curzon Ashton, as well as two spells with Park
Avenue.
He has been capped by Northern
Ireland at under-17, 18 and under-19 level.
