Patrick Kavanagh (born 29 December 1985 in Dublin) is an Irish footballer who plays as a winger for League of Ireland Premier Division club Bohemians. Kavanagh's younger brother James plays for rival League of Ireland side Drogheda United.
Kavanagh's first clubs were St Joseph's Boys and Ballybrack Boys, where his talent was soon spotted by scouts. He signed for League of Ireland club Bohemians in 2004 but his opportunities at the club were restricted to appearances in the Gypsies' Under 21 side. Following his brief stint at Bohemians, Kavanagh signed for Wayside Celtic and he became an instant hit, helping them win the FAI Intermediate Cup in his first season. A year later, they reached the top of the Leinster Senior League table and in the last round of games where there was a play-off to decide the champions. His side clinched the Leinster Senior League title, winning 5–0 and he scored twice and was credited with assists for the other three goals.
During his time at Wayside Celtic, he played a Republic of Ireland under-20 amateur international against Spain and helped the Irish win 3–0.
Following his performances at Wayside Celtic offers flooded in and the first offer came from UCD, not far from home and he signed in June 2006 on amateur terms. He scored five minutes into his League of Ireland debut as a substitute against Waterford United on 26 June 2006. His season was interrupted as he had already booked holidays before signing for UCD; however, he got a run in the side towards the end of the season and scored three goals in UCD's last three games to help the Students to sixth place in the league. The highlight was the winner at Dalymount Park against Bohemians on 27 October 2006. A week later he was sprung from the bench and scored the winner against Sligo as UCD finished mid-table.
