Born in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, Keogh arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-eight when he first linked up with the Wexford senior team. He made his debut in the 1971 championship. Keogh went on to play a key part for the rest of the decade, and won two Leinster medals and one National Hurling League medal. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions.

Keogh represented the Leinster inter-provincial team at various times throughout his career, winning one Railway Cup medals in 1974. At club level he played with Rapparees and Shamrocks.

Throughout his career, Keogh made 23 championship appearances for Wexford. His retirement came following Wexford's defeat by Kilkenny in the 1979 championship.
