Upon retiring from playing Kilbane moved into a career in broadcasting and has provided analysis and punditry on a number of television channels including the BBC and TV3 as well as radio work on BBC Five Live and Newstalk in Ireland.

He has also obtained a degree in Professional Sports Writing and Broadcasting at Staffordshire University and used to write a regular column for the Irish Daily Mail.

In 2020, Kilbane was one of 12 celebrities participating in ITV’s hit show Dancing on Ice. Although he was fourth to leave the competition it wasn’t all bad for the Irishman as he ended up marrying his Canadian professional skating partner Brianne Delcourt.

The pair have since relocated to Canada where he currently works as a pundit for Canadian broadcaster TSN.
