While a fourth-year student at Newcastle University, Keen was capped four times for England across the 1968 Five Nations, as a loose-head prop. He also represented Northumberland.[2]

Keen had several seasons with Moseley, then had to step away from rugby for two years due to business commitments, with his work taking him to Brazil.
