James Keene (born 26 December 1985) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for Bidvest Wits.

Club career

Early career

Keene is a product of the Portsmouth youth scheme. After making his way through the ranks – including a successful 'work experience' loan at A.F.C. Newbury[2] – he was loaned to Football League Two club Kidderminster Harriers, making his debut in a 2–0 defeat to Bristol Rovers. Keene was the Man of the Match for the visitors. He played five more games for Kidderminster, excelling during his loan period.

He was rewarded upon his return to Fratton Park with his first professional contract, to run until the summer of 2007.

Following his loan he broke into the first team squad, and played in the final two games of the 2004–05 season, making his debut against Bolton Wanderers in a 1–1 draw as a 60th-minute substitute.[3] He started his next game against West Bromwich Albion.[4] He then had two loans spells in the 2005–06 season. First he joined League 1 side Bournemouth. It was there he scored his first career goal on 15 October 2005, a last minute winner as Bournemouth beat Colchester away from home by the single goal.[5] Three days later he scored twice in a 4-1 win over Aldershot Town in the Football League Trophy.[6] His fourth and final goal for the club came in a 2-0 league victory against Brentford.[7] He then joined League 2 side Boston United, where he scored his first and only goal for the club in a 1-1 draw with Rochdale.[8]

Sweden

He was loaned in March 2006 to GAIS for the Swedish 2006 Allsvenskan. Keene scored the first goal of the season for GAIS in the Allsvenskan in the Gothenburg derby against Örgryte IS. He finished the season as the club's top scorer with 10 goals in 22 league appearances, and following his success he was at the end of the season transferred to the Swedish champions IF Elfsborg, signing a five-year contract with them. James has been an integral member of the club's Champions League Campaigns.[9]

He was on loan to the Norwegian Tippeligaen team Fredrikstad FK during the latter part of the 2011 season. He then returned to Elfsborg, and was loaned to Djurgårdens IF for 2012 season.

Return to Portsmouth

On 10 January 2013, Keene signed a one-month loan deal with Portsmouth, his former club.[10] He made his debut on 26 January, against Hartlepool United.[11] He scored his first Pompey goal on 2 February, against Colchester United.[12] He returned to Elfsborg on 2 March, after the game against Crewe Alexandra, in which Portsmouth managed to get a win.[13]

Return to Sweden

On 24 April 2015, Keene joined Allsvenskan side Halmstad.[14]
