Kenney Bertz (born December 7, 1983, in Fountain Valley, California) is an American former soccer player. He spent the majority of his professional career in the United States with the Rochester Rhinos in the USL First Division.

College and amateur soccer

Bertz attended the University of Maryland, College Park where he played on the men's soccer team from 2002 to 2005. His senior season, the Terrapins won the NCAA Men's Soccer Championship. In 2003, he also played for the Columbus Shooting Stars in the USL Premier Development League.

Professional soccer

On January 20, 2006, D.C. United selected Bertz in the fourth round (47th overall) in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. The Portland Timbers also selected him in the 2006 USL Draft. He elected to pursue a contract with United, but after failing in that effort, signed with the Rochester Rhinos of the USL First Division. In 2007, he acted as captain of the Rhinos for part of the season.

In January 2008, he signed with SV Elversberg of the German Regionalliga. On August 11, 2008, he rejoined the Rhinos, signing a two-year contract.

Retirement

In September, 2010 Kenney began his training in law enforcement with the Butler Tech Police Academy.
