The former Manchester United defender, joined Burnley in 2014, after spending his youth career with the Old Trafford club. The defender played four times for the Republic of Ireland, at Under-17 and Under-19 levels, before switching allegiances to his home land.
Despite being a twin, Keane's brother Will never played for Ireland, despite the duo playing through the underage levels at Manchester United. Will is currently a striker at Hull City, after leaving United in August.
