Biography:
A product of Ipswich Town's prolific youth set-up, Rory McKeown found himself released in the summer of 2011. He was promptly snapped-up by Kilmarnock manager, Kenny Shiels. McKeown marked his SPL debut with a goal in a 1-1 draw with Dundee United in July 2011. The following month he made his Northern Ireland Under-21 debut, adding to the Youth and Schoolboy caps he had already won.

McKeown was called up to the senior Northern Ireland squad as a late replacement for the matches against Portugal and Luxembourg in September 2013.

In February 2014 McKeown joined Cowdenbeath on an emergency one-month loan, and marked his debut with a goal in a 2-0 win over Dundee.
