Paul Anthony Keegan (born 5 July 1984 in Dublin) is an Irish professional footballer currently playing for League of Ireland First Division side Waterford as a midfielder. He is a former Republic of Ireland U23 international.
Keegan signed for Drogheda United in July 2005 having previously played for Home Farm and Leeds United. At Drogheda he earned two senior medals, the first arriving when the Louth side won the FAI Cup in 2005, and two years later when they claimed the league championship, the first in the club's history.
He has captained the Republic of Ireland at youth and U21 level making his debut in Stade de la Maladière in 2003. He also played at Under 23 level. In October 2000, Keegan played for the Republic of Ireland national football team U16s in a qualifying tournament in Riga for the 2001 UEFA European Under-16 Football Championship where he came up against Andrés Iniesta
After leaving Drogheda, Keegan signed for Bohemians in January 2009 and slotted seamlessly into his favourite position of central midfield. His status at the club rapidly grew to such an extent that he captained the side when Owen Heary was absent. He claimed his first silverware for Bohs in the 2008/2009 season when they won the League of Ireland Cup, beating Waterford United 3–1 at the RSC. The success didn't end there though as Bohs subsequently won the first back-to-back titles in their 119-year history.
