at the age of sixteen. He failed to break into their first team though and was subsequently loaned out to then League Two
side Scunthorpe United
at the beginning of the 2004–05 season.
Here, he made his league debut on 7 August 2004 in a 3–1 win over . He scored two goals in 12 appearances before an injury crisis at Elland Road

tie against Portsmouth, he then spent the rest of 2004 playing reserve games for Leeds, until he was loaned to Bury

manager Brian Laws

as runners-up behind .
He truly made his mark in the 2005–06 season, notably after Scunthorpe signed fellow 19-year-old striker Billy Sharp
for £100,000 from Sheffield United
. Keogh became part of the most potent strike-force in League One, scoring 38 goals between them, with Keogh netting 15 of them. He also scored Scunthorpe's goal in the FA Cup
3rd Round visit to , beating the then England
international goalkeeper, David James
in the process to open the scoring.
On 12 January 2007, it was announced that he had rejected an improved contract offer from Scunthorpe United and would therefore be free to leave the club at the end of the 2006–07 season. As he was under the age of 24, Scunthorpe were able to command a fee for him, either as a direct offer or via a tribunal. Keogh's goals helped earn Scunthorpe prompotion to the Championship

Keogh earned plaudits for his displays for Wolves, with Queens Park Rangers
manager John Gregory describing him as "one of the signings of the season." He scored five goals for the club before the end of the season which helped them to reach the play-offs, where they lost in the semi-finals to local rivals West Bromwich Albion
.
At the start of the next season, he was recognised for his efforts for Wolves, being granted their number 9 shirt. He went on to score 11 goals (eight in the league) during a campaign which saw the club miss out on the play-offs on goal difference.
The 2008–09
season, saw Keogh's first team opportunities limited up front with Chris Iwelumo

topping the championship top scorers list in a campaign that saw Wolves promoted to the Premier League as champions. However, Keogh still played in 42 of the 46 League games during the promotion season, including scoring an important brace against Derby County
on Easter Monday.
However, injuries at the start of Wolves' return to the top flight gave Keogh his opportunity to return to the starting lineup. He became Wolves' first goalscorer of the season, scoring the winning goal as in a 1–0 win at Wigan Athletic
. It was Wolves' first ever Premier League away win, and first top flight away win since 1984. However, he later fell out of the team after injuries to others healed.
In December 2009, he suffered a tendon and ligament injury to his ankle that needed surgery and put him out of contention for three months.

He fell behind Kevin Doyle
and Stephen Fletcher in the pecking order at Wolves and was sent out on loan. His Wolves contract expires in Summer 2012.
