He signed for Mossley on his return from 'down under' in September 1979 for a £375 fee as replacement for Eamonn O'Keefe.
Keelan enjoyed a superb first season with the Lilywhites and scored the two all important second half goals that saw Mossley win at Boston United in the 2nd leg of the 1980 FA Trophy semi final.
His 16 goals helped Mossley to a second successive Northern Premier League title.
Keelan was transferred to Macclesfield Town in the summer of 1981 for a £1,000 fee after making 86 appearances scoring 27 goals for Mossley.
In March 1990 and at the end of an illustrious career Keelan returned to Mossley for a short spell under Mark Hilton and made a further 7 appearances scoring 2 goals before going to Rossendale United as manager at the end of the season.
Later spells as team boss at Stalybridge Celtic and Ashton United followed and in the summer of 1995 following Mossley's relegation to the North West Counties League Keelan was approached to work alongside Paul Cuddy at Seel Park. That didn't work out but it was Cuddy who moved on and Keelan's rebuilt team had a reasonable first season.
They finished 4th in the NWCL and reached the final of the Floodlit Trophy. The following season Keelan's team reached the quarter finals of the FA Vase finally going down to eventual winners Whitby Town.
By the end of the season with Keelan's interest visibly waning he resigned.
He then returned to management for a second time with Stalybridge Celtic and had a short spell as assistant manager to Steve Weywell at Leigh RMI.
