Quick Facts Personal information, Full name ...

A half-back and follower from Koroit, Keane signed with South Melbourne at the start of 1934 before opting to remain at Koroit that year. He made the move to Melbourne the following year, training at Footscray in the preseason before, at South Melbourne's urging, the permit committee determined that he was still a South Melbourne player.[2] After a few games with the South Melbourne seconds which failed to impress the club, he was cleared to Footscray.[3] His sole senior game for Footscray was in late 1935, ironically in a loss against South Melbourne. He was cleared to South Warrnambool at the start of 1936.[4]
