Darran Kempson (born December 6, 1984 in Blackpool, England) is an English professional footballer currently playing for Shrewsbury Town F.C.
The central defender started his career at Preston North End as a trainee, but didn't play a game for The Lilywhites. He was given a loan spell at Accrington Stanley from February 2004, making his début in Accrington's 3–2 defeat to Dagenham & Redbridge. Kempson went onto play a further 10 appearances for Accrington, scoring one goal, which was in the 3–1 defeat to Margate.
Kempson got a second loan spell away from Deepdale at the end of December 2004. This time, Kempson was loaned out to Morecambe, where he made seven appearances and scored a single goal. Kempson managed to impress Morecambe manager Jim Harvey and secured a permanent deal at Christie Park. Kempson played a further 44 appearances for The Shrimps and helping them to the Conference Play-Offs. A starting regular under Jim Harvey at Morecambe, Kempson was mainly used a substitute under Sammy McIlroy, and decided not to renew his contract with the Shrimps.
Kempson then had a successful trial with Crewe Alexandra, and subsequently signed for the club in the summer of 2006. He played seven games for the Railwaymen, making his début in the 2–2 draw with Northampton. Following a short loan spell which saw him end the 2006–07 season at Bury, Kempson followed team-mate Darren Moss to Shrewsbury.
His Shrewsbury début came in the 4–0 away win at Lincoln City on the opening day of the 2007–08 season. He scored his first goal for the club in the League Cup — the winner against Championship club Colchester United — three days later. He joined Accrington Stanley on loan on 29 February 2008, but was recalled by the Shrews early to play in their last few games of the season.
