Career
Kane made his debut for St Johnstone against Kilmarnock on 9 November 2013. In January 2014, Kane signed for Scottish Championship club Dumbarton on a one-month loan deal, scoring on his debut as the Sons defeated Greenock Morton 2–0 on 4 January 2014. On 31 January 2014, his loan was extended until the end of that season. On 29 August 2014, Kane returned to Dumbarton on loan once again, agreeing a deal until January 2015. Kane scored the winner on his second debut for the Sons versus Livingston. On 24 May 2015, Kane scored his first ever goal for St Johnstone, the winner in a 1–0 win over Aberdeen which secured a fourth-placed finish for the Perth club.

On 10 August 2017, Kane along with his teammate Jason Kerr joined Scottish Championship club Queen of the South on loan until 31 January 2018. On 14 January 2018, Kane was recalled to the Perth club when his loan spell in Dumfries with the Doonhamers ended. On 29 January 2018, Kane scored a hat-trick in a 4–0 away win versus Albion Rovers in the Scottish Cup fourth round at Cliftonhill.

Kane was one of three St Johnstone players to sign a short term six-month contract extension in May 2020, as the club formulated plans amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. He was a regular player as St Johnstone won both cup competitions during the 2020–21 season.

He missed most of the 2022–23 season due to injury, but made a comeback near the end of the season and signed a new one-year contract with St Johnstone in June 2023.

He moved on loan to Dunfermline Athletic in February 2024 and then joined the club on permanent contract after leaving St Johnstone in May 2024 at the end of the season.
