Patrick Keary[2] (born 22 November 1993) is an English footballer who plays as a centre back, currently a Free Agent after he was released by Bristol Rovers.

Keary played and captained the Bristol Rovers Centre of Excellence sides from the age of 8 to 16, before being released from the club. He then spent a year playing and studying for TeamBath, at Bath University.

During his time away from Bristol Rovers he also made appearances for the Mangotsfield United reserve team in the Somerset County League (5 appearances, 2 goals)[3] and made one first-team appearance for Southern League Division One South & West side Mangotsfield United in a cup competition.[4]

After a year out of the Bristol Rovers setup the club's then Head of Youth, Ken Oram, rang him up and offered a trial. Following the successful conclusion he then signed a 2-year youth scholarship.[5]

Keary eventually made his football league debut on 12 October 2013 in an away match against Mansfield Town coming on as a substitute in the 23rd minute for Lee Brown.[6]

Keary was released by Rovers at the end of the 2013-14 season[7] and went on trial with Conference South side Bath City. He went on to score the only goal against Bristol Rovers in a pre-season friendly.[8] Keary signed for Bath City in August 2014.
