Career

McKeown started his career as a youth team player for Ipswich Town. He signed at the same time as fellow countryman Josh Carson. McKeown went on to develop in the Ipswich under-18s and reserve teams before he was released in June 2011.

Following his release by Ipswich, McKeown signed for Kilmarnock after a short trial. Killie manager Kenny Shiels commented that "Rory is a great young player, he fits in with the way we play". McKeown made an immediate impact at Killie, scoring on his competitive debut, against Dundee United at Tannadice Park.[1][2]

On 20 February 2014, McKeown joined Scottish Championship side Cowdenbeath on a one-month emergency loan.[3] On 22 February 2014, he made his debut for the club and scored after 33 minutes in a 2–0 win against Dundee.[4] Having made six appearance and scoring once, McKeown loan spell with Cowdenbeath was extended until the end of the 2013-14 season.[5]

On 23 June 2014, McKeown joined another Scottish Championship side, Raith Rovers.[6]
