Career

Keith started his career at West Ham United as a trainee but did not make a senior appearance. He joined Colchester United in 1999 and went on to score 28 goals in 247 league and cup appearances for the club in six seasons.[2] After a brief loan spell with Bristol City at the end of the 2004–05 season,[3] Keith was released by Colchester and joined Leyton Orient in June 2005.[2] He made over fifty appearances in his eighteen months at Orient.[4] He joined Shrewsbury on loan in October 2006, returning to Orient the following month.[5][6]

Keith signed for Brentford in January 2007 on a five-month contract,[7] linking up with former Colchester teammate and then Brentford manager Scott Fitzgerald. He played 18 games for Brentford, scoring twice, before being released in May 2007.[4] After being released by Brentford, he dropped into non-league football, joining AFC Hornchurch.[8]

In August 2008 Keith went on to play for Tilbury of the Isthmian League First Division North where he spent a successful 2008–09, season playing 42 league games and scoring 11 goals. Keith was instrumental in helping the Dockers win their first silverware since 1975 when they won the Isthmian League Cup, beating Harrow Borough 2–0 in April 2009.
