Keith struggled to break in to the Queens Park Rangers first team in 2000-01 and was restricted to a handful of early season outings as cover for the non-availability of other players.
In January, he moved on loan to Second Division Luton Town where he settled in straight away featuring regularly during his stay.
He is a left-sided player who operates either as a wing back or in a more attacking midfield role.
He returned to Loftus Road and was released in the summer.

Keith subsequently joined Barnet on a non-contract basis.
