A utility back, he has represented Country Origin and previously played for the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Cronulla.

Kearney made his First Grade Debut in Round 1, Souths v Canterbury Bulldogs at Telstra Stadium, on 15 March 2003.
Signing with the Cronulla Sharks, Kearney had limited opportunity in 2006, with the exception of injuries. In 2007, with a positional change to fullback, Kearney was a regular in the first grade side until he suffered injury during the season. At fullback, "BK" has made inroads in attack scoring several tries. He scored a superb hat trick in the 2007 game against St. George Illawarra Dragons showing his ability in attack.
