Club career

In July 2011 Keita joined Huracán Valencia CF, returning to the youth setup. He was promoted to the first team in Segunda División B ahead of the 2013–14 campaign, but after appearing rarely, he was loaned to Tercera División side RSD Alcalá in January 2014.

On 25 August 2014, Keita agreed to a one-year loan deal with CD San Roque de Lepe also in the third division.[1] The following 2 February he signed for Levante UD, being initially assigned to the reserves in the fourth tier.[2]

Keita continued to appear in the lower leagues in the following years, representing Recreativo de Huelva,[3] CF Peralada,[4] Atlético Saguntino[5] and Ontinyent CF.[6]

International career

Keita was first called up for the Guinea national team on 26 October 2017, ahead of a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against DR Congo.[7] He made his full international debut on 11 November, coming on as a substitute for Guy-Michel Landel and scoring the equalizer in the 1–3 away loss at the Stade des Martyrs in Kinshasa.[8]
