About Alex Keddie

Born 1981. Alex Keddie is a British association football player.

Alex Keddie is a Scottish former footballer who played as a defender. Keddie began his career with Leeds United and St Johnstone, before moving into Junior football with Cumbernauld United and Shotts Bon Accord. At the age of 24, Keddie returned to full-time football and played for Stranraer, Ross County, Dunfermline Athletic and Arbroath, before retiring in 2014.

Career He started his career in the youth team of Leeds United, where he won the FA Youth Cup, before having a short spell with Scottish Premier League side St Johnstone. After leaving St Johnstone, Keddie played Junior football with Cumbernauld United and Shotts Bon Accord.

After 6 years away from professional football, Keddie signed with Scottish First Division side Stranraer at the age of 24, before moving to Ross County after one season. Keddie spent 4 years with the Highland team, making 140 appearances in total and scoring 10 goals.

In May 2010, Keddie signed for Dunfermline Athletic. During his first season with the Pars, he won promotion to the SPL during the 2010–11 season, becoming a regular starter in the latter part of the season.

Keddie made 36 top tier starts in central defence for the Pars, who conceded 82 goals during that season.
