Early life

Born in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, Kernohan attended Ballymena Academy and first began playing rugby for Ballymena minis.[1]

Club career

Kernohan joined the Ulster sub-academy for the 2017–18 season, but was not initially awarded a full academy contract ahead of the 2018–19 season. However, strong performances during pre-season saw him rewarded with a place in the academy shortly after the season began.[1][2] He made his senior debut for Ulster in the provinces opening 2018–19 Pro14 fixture against Welsh side Scarlets on 1 September 2018, which Ulster won 15–13,[3][4] and made his European Rugby Champions Cup debut during round 1 of the 2018–19 tournament, featuring off the bench in the provinces 24–10 win against English side Leicester Tigers on 13 October 2018.[5][6]

On 13 May 2020, Kernohan travels to England to sign for Ealing Trailfinders in the RFU Championship from the 2020-21 season.[7]

International career

Kernohan was part of the Ireland under-20s team that won a grand slam during the 2019 Six Nations Under 20s Championship. He missed the opening two rounds due to a hamstring injury, but returned for the final fixtures.[8][9]
