Kean signed his first professional contract in April 2022, joining Northampton Saints’ Senior Academy on a full-time basis ahead of the 2022/23 season.

The centre was part of the Club’s Under-18s side which reached the final of Premiership Rugby’s Academy League during the 2021/22 campaign. He joined Saints’ Junior Academy as an Under-13 player in the Suffolk Developing Player Programme, and also played for Colchester RFC ahead of signing on at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens.

His Northampton debut came back in October against Saracens in the Premiership Rugby Cup, and Kean added one more appearance to his tally later that month in the same competition against Harlequins.
