Keith took to Instagram to make his announcement,
“40 and out!
After 24 years of playing adult football I’ve now decided to call an end to my non league career, after amassing over 1000+ non league appearances.
I’ve have been fortunate to have such great memories, winning promotions and trophies, from Step 2 National League South down to Step 5 of the Football Pyramid.
I’ve been extremely lucky to have played for some great clubs, and managers, playing with some top players and meeting some fantastic volunteers and finally amazing supporters.
I would like to thank everyone I have met through non league throughout the years, you have made my career such an enjoyable one.
