A former player from Huddersfield Town, Derby County, and Ipswich Town will soon be a free agent as his release has been confirmed.

The veteran defender joined Forest Green on a short-term deal in February and racked up 14 appearances for the club as they failed to avoid relegation from League Two.

His contract has not been renewed beyond the summer and he is now set to depart and become available as a free agent. In a statement, Forest Green said: “Forest Green would like to say thank you to all of the players for their hard work, with special mention to Dom Bernard and Matty Stevens, who helped the club win promotion to League One in 2021/2022.”

A veteran of the EFL, Keogh has played in all three tiers below the EFL and has had two spells in Yorkshire. He had a loan stint at Huddersfield in 2007 before sealing a return to the club during the 2020/21 campaign.

The former Republic of Ireland player has also played for clubs like Bristol City, Derby County, and Ipswich Town. He’s been released along with another former Huddersfield player, Reece Brown, who moved to Forest Green in 2022.

Teams across various leagues are releasing their retained lists after the end of the League One, League Two, and National League seasons. Notable names becoming free agents include ex-Huddersfield midfielder Adam Clayton.

Huddersfield’s retained list should become public in the next few weeks, once the regular Championship season ends. Although they have a match against Ipswich Town to wrap up the campaign, Andre Breitenreiter’s team is already effectively relegated to League One.
