Mark Anthony McKeever (born 16 November 1978) is a former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. Born in Northern Ireland, he represented the Republic of Ireland internationally at youth levels U19 and U21.

Career

McKeever began his football career with Norwich City as a youth team player. He was eventually released and moved on to Peterborough United with ex-Canaries coach Kit Carson. McKeever became a trainee with the club, but after only three appearances he was transferred to Sheffield Wednesday in April 1997 with David Billington for £1,000,000.

McKeever made three appearances in the Premier League and was looking to break into the first team before a foot injury prematurely ended his season. He was subsequently sent on loan to Bristol Rovers and later Reading. During his stint with the Royals he played in a 4–0 away victory over Stoke City.^[2] However, over the following weeks, Stoke full-back Jason Kavanagh made a full catalogue of Division Two wingers look like Best at his peak.^[3]

McKeever made his sixth appearance for Wednesday in an FA Cup tie against Bristol City in December 1999. A year later, McKeever was linked with a return to Bristol Rovers after they had supposedly tabled a £100,000 bid for him. But the permanent move did not materialise.^{[citation needed]}

McKeever moved to Bristol Rovers on loan for two months in 2001.^{[citation needed]} In March 2001, the move was made permanent, with McKeever moving south on a free transfer.^{[citation needed]} He spent two years with Rovers before being released in May 2003.^{[citation needed]} He then joined Weston-super-Mare in August 2003, for whom he played for a period of three years before signing for Bath City in May 2006.^{[citation needed]} It was here that he won a Southern League winners medal in 2007.^{[citation needed]}

Bath City sent McKeever on loan in January 2008 to Mangotsfield United,^{[citation needed]} but he was soon transferred to fellow Conference South club Weston-super-Mare in March 2008 for his second stint with the club.^{[citation needed]}

On 18 August 2009, he was forced to retire following injury.^{[citation needed]}

He has been capped by the Republic of Ireland at Under-18 level (12 caps) and by their Under-21s (4 caps).^{[citation needed]} McKeever played for the Republic of Ireland national under-19 football team in the 1997 UEFA European Under-18 Football Championship finals in Iceland.^{[citation needed]}
