Since arriving at Glory ahead of the 2014-15 A-League season, Keogh has played 70 games and scored 34 goals and despite his relatively short tenure at the club was recently voted by Perth Glory members as part of its Ultimate XI (1996-2016) team of the last 20 seasons.
“I’m thrilled that I have extended my contract for another year which will see me at the club for at least the next two seasons. I am happy at Perth Glory and my family and I have settled well in Perth and WA,” Keogh said.
“I am also excited with what we are building here at the club and look forward to helping bring success for our members and fans very soon. I can’t wait for the 2017-18 season to begin.”
