Club career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Kemp joined the academy of Chelsea at the age of six, and spent ten years with the club before his move across London to West Ham United in 2015.[3]
West Ham United
[edit]Having progressed through to West Ham's U23 development squad, in which he featured in several EFL Trophy ties, Kemp moved on loan to League Two club Stevenage in January 2020,[4] followed by League One club Blackpool on a season-long loan deal in September 2020.[5] He scored his first goal for Blackpool in an EFL Trophy tie against Leeds United U21s on 11 November 2020.[6]
Leyton Orient
[edit]Kemp was recalled from his loan by West Ham on 15 January 2021,[7] and moved to Leyton Orient on a permanent basis on a two-and-a-half-year contract.[8][9]
Milton Keynes Dons
[edit]On 31 January 2022, Kemp joined League One club Milton Keynes Dons on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee.[10][11] He made his debut on 5 February 2022 as an 88th-minute substitute in a 2–1 home win over Lincoln City.[12]
On 31 January 2023, Kemp returned to League Two when he joined Hartlepool United on loan until the end of the season.[13][14] Kemp said he saw the loan move as a 'massive opportunity' for him.[15] After scoring five times in six games, Kemp won the EFL League Two Player of the Month award for February 2023.[16] On 7 April 2023, Kemp scored his first career hat-trick in a 4–1 win against Grimsby Town.[17]
On 18 July 2023, Kemp joined League Two club Swindon Town on loan for the duration of the 2023–24 season.[18][19] Over 25 league games during the first half of the season, Kemp scored 14 goals and provided 8 assists - the second most goal contributions of any player in League Two. On 1 January 2024, he was recalled by MK Dons.[20] Despite being recalled in January, Kemp would still win Swindon's Player of the Season award.[21]
At the end of the 2023–24 season, Kemp was released by MK Dons.[22]
Stevenage
[edit]On 10 June 2024, Kemp agreed to return to League One club Stevenage on a permanent two-year contract.[23][24]
