Mark Keane (born 17 March 2000) is an Irish professional Australian rules footballer who plays for the Adelaide Football Club after previously playing for the Collingwood Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Keane grew up in Ireland and played Gaelic football before making a code switch to Australian rules football.
Keane joined Collingwood as a Category B rookie in 2018 after a two-week trial at the club.[1] He made his debut in the club's round 9 match in the 2020 AFL season against, where the Magpies lost by 12 points.[2] In January 2022, Keane left Collingwood and the AFL to play Gaelic Football with Mitchelstown GAA in Ireland.[3]
Ultimately, Keane returned to Australia and signed with in the 2023 pre-season supplemental signing period (SPP).[4] He made his debut with the Adelaide Crows in Round 20 in 2023 with a Showdown win against Port Adelaide.[5]
Keane returned to Ireland in 2020 and was brought on as a substitute for Cork against Kerry in the 2020 Munster Senior Football Championship. He scored the late goal that knocked Kerry out of the competition, in what was described as "one of the biggest upsets in recent championship history... a strike so late it had eerie echoes of Tadhg Murphy's 1983 goal at the same end of the ground that similarly put Kerry out of the championship".[6] [7]
