Andrew Declan Keogh (born 16 May 1986) is an Irish professionalfootballer who plays as aforward for semi-professional sideEast Perth FC. Born inDublin, Keogh played the first several years of his professional career playing for a number of clubs in England, includingWolverhampton Wanderers, for whom he made over 100 appearances. In 2014, Keogh moved to Australia to play forPerth Glory. He left the Glory for one year to play in theThai Premier League forRatchaburi before returning in early 2016, and again in 2020, after leaving in 2019, forAl-Qadsiah.
Keogh has won thirtycaps for theRepublic of Ireland national team, scoring two goals.
Born in southDublin to Declan and Linda, he attendedCBC Monkstown along with his younger brother, Kenny. Although a talented Rugby player, he chose football in his mid teens. Keogh began his playing career atCabinteely FC and Joeys FC in South Dublin. He also was an accomplished midfielder in gaelic football at juvenile level withCabinteely GAA.
Keogh moved toLeeds United at the age of sixteen. He failed to break into their first team and wasloaned out to theLeague Two sideScunthorpe United at the beginning of the2004–05 season.[2]
Here, he made his league debut on 7 August 2004, in a 3–1 win overRochdale. He scored two goals in 12 appearances before an injury crisis atElland Road caused him to be recalled to his parent club.[3] After failing to get into the team under managerKevin Blackwell, he made his one appearance as a late substitute in aLeague Cup tie against Portsmouth,[4] he then spent the rest of 2004 playing reserve games for Leeds, until he was loaned toBury in January 2005 as a replacement forPreston North End-boundDavid Nugent.[5]
While on loan at Bury,Scunthorpe United managerBrian 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.[6] He only scored only one further goal, but was part of the team which won promotion toLeague One as runners-up behindYeovil Town.[7]
He truly made his mark in the2005–06 season, after Scunthorpe signed fellow 19-year-old strikerBilly Sharp for £100,000 fromSheffield United. Keogh became part of the most potent strike-force in League One, scoring 38 goals between them, with Keogh netting 15 of them. He also scored Scunthorpe's goal in theFA Cup third Round visit toManchester City, beating the thenEngland internationalgoalkeeper,David James in the process to open the scoring.[8]
On 12 January 2007, it was announced that he had rejected an improved contract offer from Scunthorpe United and would therefore be free to leave the club at the end of the2006–07 season.[9] As he was under the age of 24, Scunthorpe were able to command a fee for him, either as a direct offer or via a tribunal. Keogh's goals helped earn Scunthorpe promotion to theChampionship as champions, the number of points achieved (91) and the number of goals scored by his strike partnerBilly Sharp (30) were greater than those achieved by any other team in the Premiership and the Football League that season.
Having had an earlier bid of £500,000 turned down, Keogh signed forChampionship sideWolverhampton Wanderers on 23 January 2007. He signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with the transfer set to cost Wolves an initial £600,000 potentially rising to £850,000 with add-ons.[10]
Keogh earned plaudits for his displays for Wolves, withQueens Park Rangers managerJohn Gregory describing him as "one of the signings of the season."[11] He scored five goals for the club before the end of the season which helped them to reach the play-offs, where they lost in the semi-finals to local rivalsWest Bromwich Albion.
At the start of the next season, he was recognised for his efforts for Wolves, and was given their number 9 shirt.[12] He went on to score 11 goals (eight in the league) during a campaign which saw the club miss out on the play-offs on goal difference.
The2008–09 season, Keogh's first team opportunities were limited withChris Iwelumo andSylvan Ebanks-Blake topping the championship top scorers list in a campaign that saw Wolves promoted to thePremier League as champions. However, Keogh still played in 42 of the 46 League games during the promotion season, and scored againstDerby County on Easter Monday.[13]
Injuries at the start of Wolves' Premier League campaign gave Keogh his opportunity to return to the starting line-up. He became Wolves' first goalscorer of the season, scoring the only goal in a 1–0 win atWigan Athletic.[14] It was Wolves' first ever Premier League away win, and first top flight away win since 1984.[15] However, he later fell out of the team after injuries to others healed.
In December 2009, he suffered a tendon and ligament injury to his ankle that needed surgery and put him out of contention for three months.[16] After recovering he made only a few fleeting substitute appearances in the club's push toward Premier League survival; a total of 13 league appearances and one goal for the campaign.
Having fallen behindKevin Doyle and new signingStephen Fletcher in the pecking order at Wolves, Keogh joined Championship sideCardiff City in what was due to be a season-long loan deal to replaceRoss McCormack who was set to leave the club to join Leeds.[17] He made his debut in a 2–0 win againstPortsmouth,[18] the first of 17 appearances for the Bluebirds, during which he scored twice (coincidentally, both were last minute goals).[19][20]
However, he was not a regular starter as the club chased promotion (ultimately without success). He fell behind strikersJay Bothroyd andMichael Chopra and wingersCraig Bellamy andChris Burke in the pecking order. His loan was terminated on 31 January 2011.
He immediately moved to Championship sideBristol City on a 93-day loan deal.[21] He only scored once for Bristol City – in a 4–0 victory overPreston North End[22] – before he picked up a back injury that cut his stay short after nine appearances.[23][24] This injury ended his season and he returned to Wolves.
He featured in Wolves' opening day victory overStoke, in what was ultimately his final appearance for the club, before rejoining Leeds United on loan in August until the New Year with the view to a permanent move.[25] Keogh revealed he felt he had "unfinished business" at Leeds after only playing one game in his previous spell at the club.[26] Keogh made his league and second debut for Leeds on 16 August, when he started againstHull City in a 4–1 win. After playing games up front withRoss McCormack, Keogh was moved to left wing for the first time whenLuciano Becchio returned from injury againstManchester United.[27]
The forward scored his first goal for Leeds in a 3–3 draw againstBrighton & Hove Albion on 23 September.[28] He netted once more, during the 22 appearances of his loan stay. Although the player was hopeful that a permanent deal could be agreed,[29] it failed to be so and he returned to Wolves at the conclusion of his loan on 3 January.[30]
On the final day of the January 2012 transfer window, Keogh joinedChampionship clubMillwall in a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee thought to be around £500,000.[31]
On 31 January 2014, Keogh joinedBlackpool on loan until the end of the2013–14 season.[32] He was released by Millwall on 10 May 2014.
On 30 May 2014, Keogh signed with Australian clubPerth Glory in theA-League.[33]
On 5 August 2014, Keogh played his first official game for Perth, scoring both goals in a 2–0 win overNewcastle Jets FC, leading the team to the last 16 of theFFA Cup.[34]
On 12 October, Keogh made his first appearance forPerth Glory in the A-League. He scored the first goal in a 2–1 away win againstWellington Phoenix.[35]
On 19 October, Keogh scored all three goals in a 3–2 victory over defending premiers & championsBrisbane Roar, Keogh was awarded his hat-trick after it was officially ruled that Perth Glory's second goal was not an own goal againstJames Donachie.[36]
After departing Perth due to the club's salary cap breach in 2015, Keogh briefly joinedThai Premier League sideRatchaburi.[37]
On 11 December 2015, it was announced that he had re-signed with Perth Glory. Due to Glory's visa spots being full and the FFA denying the club's request to register Keogh as a guest player, Keogh seemed most likely to be available to the club only in 2016.[38][39] On 7 January 2016, Perth Glory agreed to a mutual termination ofGuyon Fernandez contract, freeing up a visa spot for Keogh.[40]
Keogh scored a hat-trick for Perth in a 3–2 win overMelbourne City on 21 October 2016.[41]
Keogh was a key player in the2018–19 season premiership win after scoring 15 goals for the club. Despite wishing to stay with the club in 2019, he was unwanted in the squad and his contract was terminated. He joinedSaudi Arabian clubAl-Qadsiah in July 2019.[42][43]
In January 2020, Andy Keogh was officially signed byIndian Super League clubNorthEast United FC. He made his debut for the club againstChennaiyin FC, where his team lost 2–0. He scored his first goal for the club in his 5th match againstHyderabad FC, where his team lost 5–1.[44]
In October 2020, it was revealed that Keogh would return to Perth, reuniting with former teammateRichard Garcia who is now the head coach.[45]
In November 2020, Keogh gained Australian citizenship.[46]
Keogh received his first call-up to theRepublic of Ireland squad fromSteve Staunton in March 2007, afterCaleb Folan was forced to withdraw through injury.[47] He went on to make his debut for the senior team on 23 May 2007, in a friendly againstEcuador inGiants Stadium, New York,[48] and later featured in theirEuro 2008 qualifying campaign.
He scored the equaliser inGiovanni Trapattoni's first match in charge, a 1–1 draw withSerbia in afriendly match atCroke Park, Dublin, a goal that won theFAI Goal of the Year Award.[49] Keogh had also scored the first goal of the Trapattoni era in a training camp game against a Portuguese football league team. WithRobbie Keane andKevin 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 toGermany.[50]
In April 2017, Keogh was named as head coach ofPerth-based clubInglewood United, whilst still playing for Perth Glory, after holding a previous assistant coach role at Inglewood.[51] On 31 August 2018, Inglewood announced that Keogh had stepped down as head coach.[52]
After retiring from his playing career at Perth Glory, Keogh became the club's head of recruitment in 2022 following the appointment of head coachRuben Zadkovich as full time.[53] He left his role at Perth Glory in early August 2023.[54]
