Keane began his provincial career with Connacht where he received 90 caps (65 Celtic/Magners League, 24 ERC Challenge Cup), the first coming against Cardiff Blues in a 6–3 victory. Keane made his Leinster debut on October 5, 2007 against Llanelli Scarlets in a 23–52 Magners League defeat. On December 15 he made his first Heineken Cup appearance against Edinburgh at Murrayfield.
