Andrew Declan "Andy" Keogh (born 16 May 1986) is an English-born Irish International footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers. He is currently on loan at Championship side Bristol City.

Club career

Early career

Born in south Dublin, he attended CBC Monkstown. Although a talented rugby player he chose soccer as his preferred sport in his mid teens. Keogh began his playing career at Cabinteely FC and St Josephs Boys AFC in South Dublin.

Leeds United

Keogh moved to Leeds United at the age of sixteen. He failed to break into their first team though and was subsequently loaned out to then League Two side Scunthorpe United at the beginning of the 2004–05 season.[1]

Here, he made his league debut on 7 August 2004 in a 3–1 win over Rochdale. He scored two goals in 12 appearances before an injury crisis at Elland Road caused him to be recalled to his parent club.[2] After failing to get into the team under manager Kevin Blackwell, save for one appearance as a late substitute in a League Cup tie against Portsmouth,[3] he then spent the rest of 2004 playing reserve games for Leeds, until he was loaned to Bury in January 2005 as a replacement for Preston North End-bound David Nugent.[4]

Scunthorpe United

While on loan at Bury, Scunthorpe United manager Brian Laws made an offer to Leeds (said to be around £50,000) to bring him to the club on a permanent basis. Leeds accepted the offer, and on 14 February, Keogh rejoined the club he had started the season with.[5] He only scored only one further goal, but was part of the team which won promotion to League One as runners-up behind Yeovil Town.[6]

He truly made his mark in the 2005–06 season, notably after Scunthorpe signed fellow 19-year-old striker Billy Sharp for £100,000 from Sheffield United. Keogh became part of the most potent strike-force in League One, scoring 38 goals between them, with Keogh netting 15 of them. He also scored Scunthorpe's goal in the FA Cup 3rd Round visit to Manchester City, beating England international goalkeeper David James in the process to open the scoring.[7]

On 12 January 2007, it was announced that he had rejected an improved contract offer from Scunthorpe United and would therefore be free to leave the club at the end of the 2006–07 season.[8] As he was under the age of 24, Scunthorpe were able to command a fee for him, either as a direct offer or via a tribunal.

Wolves

Having had an earlier bid of £500,000 turned down, Keogh signed for Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers on 23 January 2007. He signed a three and a half year contract with the transfer set to cost Wolves an initial £600,000 potentially rising to £850,000 with add-ons.[9]

Keogh earned plaudits for his displays for Wolves, with QPR manager John Gregory describing him as "one of the signings of the season."[10] He notched 5 goals for the club before the end of the season which helped them to reach the play-offs, where they lost in the semi-finals to local rivals West Bromwich Albion.

At the start of the next season, he was recognised for his efforts for Wolves, being granted their number 9 shirt.[11] He went on to score 11 goals (eight in the league) during a campaign which saw the club miss out on the play-offs on goal difference.

2008–09 saw Keogh's first team opportunities limited with Chris Iwelumo and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake topping the championship top scorers list in a campaign that saw Wolves promoted to the Premier League as champions. However, injuries at the start of Wolves' return to the top flight gave Keogh his opportunity to return to the starting lineup. He became Wolves' first goalscorer of the season, scoring the winning goal as in a 1–0 win at Wigan Athletic, Wolves' first ever Premier League away win, and first top flight away win since 1984.[12] However, he later fell out of the team after injuries to others healed.

In December 2009 he suffered a tendon and ligament injury to his ankle that needed surgery and put him out of contention for three months.[13] After recovering he made only a few fleeting substitute appearances in the club's push toward Premier League survival. He remains under contract to the club until Summer 2012.[14] He was restricted to 13 league appearance and one goal for Wolves in 2009–10.[15]

In August 2010, he joined Championship side Cardiff City on what was due to be a season-long loan deal.[16] He made his debut in a 2–0 win against Porstmouth[17] Keogh scored two goals during 17 appearances for the Bluebirds, but was not a regular starter as the club chased promotion. On 31 January 2011, this loan was canceled and he moved to fellow Championship side Bristol City on a 93 day loan deal.[18]

International career

Keogh received his first call-up to the Republic of Ireland squad from Steve Staunton in March 2007, after Caleb Folan was forced to withdraw through injury.[19] He went on to make his debut for the senior team on 23 May 2007 in a friendly against Ecuador in Giants Stadium, New York,[20] and later featured in their Euro 2008 qualifying campaign.

He scored the equaliser in Giovanni Trapattoni's first match in charge, a 1–1 draw with Serbia in a friendly match at Croke Park, Dublin, a goal that won the FAI Goal of the Year Award.[21] Keogh had also scored the first goal of the Trapattoni era in a training camp game against a Portuguese football league team. With Robbie Keane and Wolves teammate Kevin Doyle the preferred partnership up front, he has found himself on the bench mostly making substitute appearances.
