Keane began his provincial career with Connacht where he received 90 caps (65 Celtic/Magners League, 24 ERC Challenge Cup), the first coming against Cardiff Blues in a 6–3 victory. Keane made his Leinster debut on 5 October 2007 against Llanelli Scarlets in a 23–52 Celtic League defeat. On 15 December he made his first Heineken Cup appearance against Edinburgh at Murrayfield. Again it was a match that Leinster lost (29–10).
