Kris Keating

Who is Kris Keating?

Kristopher Keating, is an Australian professional rugby league footballer for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs of the NRL. He plays as a five-eighth and can operate as a half-back.

He is the younger brother of Parramatta Eels player Matt Keating.

Keating attended Westfields Sports High School, and in 2005 played for the Australian Schoolboys team.

After the sudden departure of Brett Finch in early April 2009, Keating was rushed into the starting side for the Parramatta Eels, playing the role of half-back. Due to his small stature and quick acceleration opposition defenders have trouble tackling him and has broken the defensive line on numerous occasions in his short first-grade career.

He broke his jaw in Round 10 2009 against the Manly Sea Eagles and couldn't make a comeback in the season.

In 2010 he was named on the bench and came on for some short stints at hooker. After a poor display from Parramatta's early rounds, some changes were made and Kris Keating was named on the start on side at five-eight. In succession to his form he was called up to representatives, playing five-eight for City.

Currently he lives in Cecil Hills.
