He played 18 games for Brentford, scoring twice, before being released in May 2007. After being released by Brentford, he dropped into non-league football, joining AFC Hornchurch.[7]

In August 2008 Keith went on to play for Tilbury of the Isthmian League First Division North where he spent a successful 2008–09, season playing 42 league games and scoring 11 goals. Keith was instrumental in helping the Dockers win their first silverware since 1975 when they won the Isthmian League Cup, beating Harrow Borough 2–0 in April 2009.
