Keith Jennings (born August 22, 1977) is a retired Bermudian professional football player,[3] who represented the Bermuda national football team on 6 occasions from 2006 to 2007.[4]

Club career[]

Bermuda[]

Jennings began his professional club career with Bermudian club Vasco Mariners in 1998 and played until 1999. With Vasco, he won the Bermudian Premier Division in 1998 and Bermuda FA Cup in 1999.

India[]

He later moved to India and signed with FC Kochin. He became the first ever Bermudian footballer to play for an Indian club. He represented the team in the top tier National Football League between 1999 and 2001.[5][6] With Kochin, he achieved fame in India and won various regional tournaments including Kerala State Football League and All India Central Revenue Cup but finished 4th twice in the National Football League.

Back to Bermuda[]

After his arrival in Bermuda, he has appeared with North Village Community Club in the Bermudian Premier Division before joining the Bermuda Hogges in the USL Second Division in 2008.[7] With North Village Community Club, he lifted the Bermudian Premier Division twice in 2002–03 and 2005–06 seasons alongside the Bermuda FA Cup four times in 2002–03, 2003–04, 2004–05 and 2005–06 seasons.[8] With Bermuda Hogges, he appeared in 5 Caribbean Club Championship qualification matches.

His playing career ended after he ruptured his spleen and had to have a kidney removed after a collision while playing for Southampton Rangers in 2010.[9]

At the age of 41, he has also represented North Village Community Club in 2018 and scored against Somerset Trojans in a 2-1 win match in the Premier Division clash at Bernard Park.[10] He played only 3 games in the Bermudan Corona League 2017/18 season, scoring a total of 5 goals.[11]
