Alan Kennington is an Australian former rugby union and rugby league player.
Kennington started out as a second rower for rugby union club Manly and was a member of the New South Wales state side in 1969, before getting recruited by Cronulla-Sutherland for the 1970 NSWRFL season.[1][2]
Injury delayed Kennington's first-grade debut for Cronulla until late in their 1970 campaign, but he became a regular fixture in the Sharks front row the following year, and was a member of the side that won the 1971 Endeavour Cup.[3]
