Career

Born in Brørup, Keller started playing football in nearby Vejen, before moving to top-flight club Vejle BK. He was called up for the Danish under-17 national team in January 1996, at age 15, before making his under-16 national debut in March 1996. He made his senior debut for Vejle in April 1999.

Personal life

In March 2016, it emerged that Keller had been together with Jonas Borring's now ex-wife. This episode escalated quickly, and Keller's teammates in Randers FC would not play with him, though he was the captain of the team. Keller was out of the squad after this episode. Borring left the club in March shortly after the incident, and on 20 June 2016 it was announced that Randers FC had released Keller. Christian is the father of Viborg midfielder Philip Keller.
