[edit] Club career

Kemp was signed by the AIS in 1998 but transferred the next season to Adelaide City who were then part of the now defunct NSL. After playing a season there he was signed by Italian side SPAL 1907. The next season he moved back to Australia were he returned to play for Adelaide City, before being signed by Adelaide United. He played for Adelaide in the A-League's first two seasons. It was announced on 11 April 2007 that he had signed a two year contract with Melbourne Victory.

Since leaving Adelaide, it is widely acknowledged that he has largely failed to reproduce the form that gained him the move to Victory.
