Andy Keogh

Early career

Born in south Dublin to Declan and Linda, he attended CBC Monkstown along with his younger brother, Kenny. Although a talented Rugby player, he chose football in his mid teens. Keogh began his playing career at Cabinteely FC and Joeys FC in South Dublin. He also was an accomplished midfielder in gaelic football at juvenile level with Cabinteely GAA.

Leeds United

Keogh moved to Leeds United at the age of sixteen. He failed to break into their first team and was loaned out to the League Two side Scunthorpe United at the beginning of the 2004–05 season. Here, he made his league debut on 7 August 2004, in a 3–1 win over Rochdale. He scored two goals in 12 appearances before an injury crisis at Elland Road caused him to be recalled to his parent club. After failing to get into the team under manager Kevin Blackwell, he made his one appearance as a late substitute in a League Cup tie against Portsmouth, he then spent the rest of 2004 playing reserve games for Leeds, until he was loaned to Bury in January 2005 as a replacement for Preston North End-bound David Nugent.

Scunthorpe United

While on loan at Bury, Scunthorpe United manager Brian Laws made an offer to Leeds (said to be around £50,000) to bring him to the club on a permanent basis. Leeds accepted the offer, and on 14 February, Keogh rejoined the club he had started the season with. He only scored only one further goal, but was part of the team which won promotion to League One as…

Keogh received his first call-up to the Republic of Ireland squad from Steve Staunton in March 2007, after Caleb Folan was forced to withdraw through injury. He went on to make his debut for the senior team on 23 May 2007, in a friendly against Ecuador in Giants Stadium, New York, and later featured in their Euro 2008 qualifying campaign. He scored the equaliser in Giovanni Trapattoni's first match in charge, a 1–1 draw with Serbia in a friendly match at Croke Park, Dublin, a goal that won the FAI Goal of the Year Award. Keogh had also scored the first goal of the Trapattoni era in a training camp game against a Portuguese football league team. With Robbie Keane and Kevin Doyle the preferred partnership up front, he has found himself on the bench mostly making substitute appearances. He scored his second goal for Ireland on 12 October 2012, scoring a late consolation goal in a 6–1 defeat at home to Germany.

In April 2017, Keogh was named as head coach of Perth-based club Inglewood United, whilst still playing for Perth Glory, after holding a previous assistant coach role at Inglewood. On 31 August 2018, Inglewood announced that Keogh had stepped down as head coach. After retiring from his playing career at Perth Glory, Keogh became the club's head of recruitment in 2022 following the appointment of head coach Ruben Zadkovich as full time. He left his role at Perth Glory in early August 2023.
