Jake Keegan is set to embark on another professional soccer season in 2014, this time in Ireland.
After becoming the first Bearcat to be selected in an MLS draft, the former Binghamton men’s soccer standout spent his 2013 campaign with FCA Darmstadt in Germany. In about half a season with Darmstadt, Keegan scored 10 goals before opting to leave for the Emerald Isle. In 2014, he will take the field with Galway FC of Ireland’s First Division.
“I knew that I had the ability to play at a higher level,” Keegan said, according to BUBearcats.com. “That led me to coming to Ireland on trial in hopes of earning a spot on the team here.”
This is just the latest stop in Keegan’s soccer career, which has already taken him everywhere from Philadelphia to Israel.
