Keith joined UCD in 2008 and made his league debut on 22 August as a substitute in a 2-1 home defeat to Derry City. In 2009 Keith started to appear regularly in the first team and played a key role as the Students lifted the First Division title, making 24 league appearances.
In 2010 Keith made 26 league appearances as UCD returned to the Premier Division, contributing four league goals. But in January of 2011, after three years at Belfield, he moved on, signing for Ian Foster at Dundalk. Keith made his debut for the Lilywhites in a 5-3 Setanta Cup win over Linfield on 14 February and went on to make 33 league appearances that season, scoring three times.
In January 2012 Keith was on the move again, signing for Aaron Callaghan at Bohemians.
