Kenny Martin Cunningham Brown (born 7 June 1985) is a Costa Rican professional footballer who plays as a winger.[1][2]

Playing career[edit]

Cunningham started his professional career at Pérez Zeledón and played for Carmelita, Alajuelense and Herediano before signing up with San Carlos in September 2009.[3] He moved abroad to join Japanese second division side Gainare Tottori in February 2012[4] but missed a large part of the season due to a rare disease.[5] In January 2013 he moved to Bolivia to play for The Strongest.[6]

Wellington Phoenix[edit]

On 26 July 2013, Cunningham signed a two-year contract with New Zealand A-League club Wellington Phoenix.[7] It was said that fellow Costa Rican and Wellington player Carlos Hernandez first recommended him to Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick.[8]

In the 2013–14 season, Cunningham scored 7 goals in 23 appearances, the same number as fellow Phoenix and Costa Rica teammate Carlos Hernández. His long-range goal in a 5–0 home victory over the Melbourne Victory was named goal of the year for the Phoenix in 2013–14.[9]

International career[edit]

Cunningham made his international debut for Costa Rica in an international friendly against Cuba on 12 December 2011. He was a 69th-minute substitute and helped secure a 1–1 draw with a 90th-minute equaliser.[10]

Cunningham made his full debut later that month, playing 90 minutes in a 2–0 away victory against Venezuela.[11] As of May 2014, he earned 13 caps, scoring one goal. He represented his country in 2 FIFA World Cup qualification matches[12] and played at the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup[13] but was left out of the 2014 World Cup squad.[14]
