Keogh made his debut for Rovers in their 4-0 home loss to Mansfield Town on the weekend and links up with a former Town player in Dominic Thompson. 

Upon joining Rovers, he said: “I’m excited to get going and I’m looking forward to getting into the thick of it straight away.

“Myself and the gaffer have a long-standing relationship, and when he called me, the whole challenge really excited me. I want to come here and help the group in any way I can.

“I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t ready for the challenge ahead. There’s loads of points to play for, there’s a good feel around the place with the new gaffer in place, so we just need to keep pushing each other.”

He played 16 games for Town last season as he played his part in the promotion back to the Championship.
