Frank McKeown (born 18 August 1986) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Greenock Morton.

Club career

After being released by Raith Rovers as an 18-year-old, McKeown signed with junior club Arthurlie. In 2011, McKeown went senior with Stranraer where he stayed for four years and became club captain in 2013.[1]

In 2015, the opportunity arose to turn full-time with Greenock Morton.[2] He made his debut from the bench in a cup-tie against Elgin City as a late substitute.[3] After less than ten minutes of professional football, McKeown suffered extensive knee ligament damage and was ruled out for at least three months.[4] Although three months has come and gone, McKeown is still no closer to making his debut. With the New Year looming it looks more likely and more likely be making his debut sometime in early 2016.

Personal life

As well as being a part-time footballer until he joined Morton, McKeown worked full-time as a firefighter. He was involved in the rescue attempts after the Clutha Vaults tragedy in 2013.[2]
