After playing minor counties cricket for Bedfordshire, Keogh made his first-class debut in August 2012, playing for Northants against Glamorgan. This was his only first-class appearance that season, but the next year he played 8 games. In the match against Hampshire in September 2012, he scored his maiden first-class century, and then progressed to 221, including 32 boundaries before he was out.[1] He has scored at least one century in each subsequent season, but has so far failed to reach the milestone of 1000 runs in a season, his best being 876 runs in 2015, when he played in all 18 of Northants first-class games.[2]

He had previously played for the club in both List A and Twenty20 matches. He made his List A debut in August 2010, opening the batting against Yorkshire.[3] His Twenty20 debut was in the following year. He played for Northants at Twenty20 finals day in 2016, when he finished on the winning side.[4] His best bowling figures in first-class cricket also came in the 2016 season, against Glamorgan when he and Graeme White took all twenty Glamorgan wickets between them. In the first innings, he took 9/52,[5] and took four wickets in the second innings, for match figures of 48.4-17-125-13.[6]
