In both 1978 and 1979, Norwich City sent Keelan on loan to the New
England Tea Men of the North American Soccer League for the summer
season. He was 1978 First Team All League. In 1980, Norwich City sold
his contract to the Tea Men. He played the 1980 outdoor and 1980-1981
indoor seasons. However, the Tea Men moved to Jacksonville, Florida in
the fall of 1980 and were known as the Jacksonville Tea Men during the
indoor season. While playing for the Tea Men, Keelan garnered the
nickname "Cat" Keelan. The Tea Men released him in spring 1981 and he
joined the Tampa Bay Rowdies for the 1981 season. At the end of the
season, he retired.
