Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Keegan Kelly signed with us in 2022 to facilitate his move to the United States in the spring of 2024. Next year, he will be sporting the Denver Pioneers’ crimson and gold colours as a member of the men’s soccer team. The University of Denver has a rich history of excellence in academics and athletics, making it an ideal destination for an athlete like Keegan, who aspires to combine his passion for soccer with a top-notch education.
As of the beginning of the 2022 season, Keegan Kelly solidified his position as a regular starter for the East Coast Bays AFC First team, where he became the leading scorer in the men’s NRFL Division 1 before switching to Western Springs AFC earlier this year.
Kelly is also playing for the U-23 NZ All Whites squad, who just qualified to compete in the highly anticipated 2024 Olympic Games in Paris!
As Keegan Kelly’s soccer career continues to flourish, we can’t help but look forward to what the future holds for him. His journey, from representing New Zealand on the international stage to joining the University of Denver, is one we will continue to watch closely as it unfolds!
