Who is Keith Costigan?

Keith Costigan is a former professional soccer player who now works as a television analyst and commentator for Fox Soccer Channel in Los Angeles, California.

Keith is originally from Dublin, Ireland where he played youth football for famous Irish youth clubs Vianney Boys, St. Kevins Boys and Stella Maris. He also was enrolled in a full time training course at Home Farm F.C.. Keith then spent two years in the League of Ireland with Bray Wanderers and Monaghan United Football Club. Keith also had a brief spell with Luton Town but never came to terms on a contract.

Thus, Keith decided to move onto the United States when offered a full soccer scholarship to Augusta State University and then later to California State University, Bakersfield. After completing his senior year at Bakersfield, Keith signed a two-year contract with the Portland Timbers of the United Soccer Leagues. Keith led the team in assists and minutes during his time with the club and also spent time with the Los Angeles Galaxy during the Timbers off-season. Keith then rounded out his playing career with the Harrisburg City Islanders before starting his career with Fox Soccer Channel.

Keith began with Fox as a wise-cracking barman on Fox Football Friday before moving on to co-host Super Saturday with Nick Webster. “I was always the joker of the teams I was a part of, and when I was at Portland I did a lot of interviews with media,” says Costigan.
