Career

Keeble began his career at Ipswich Town, making his debut against Port Vale in December 1997. In March 2000, Keeble joined Colchester United on a permanent basis. In May 2001, Keeble injured his Achilles tendon in a match against Wycombe Wanderers.[2] Having been troubled by injury for more than a year and put into the reserve team, Keeble was released by Colchester in 2003 after not being offered a new contract.[3] He then dropped out of the football league to join Heybridge Swifts.

He is the son of centre-forward Vic Keeble, who played for Colchester United, Newcastle United and West Ham United in the 1940s and 1950s.[4]
