Born in Glasgow, Kettings started his career with Manchester City's Centre of Excellence before joining Blackpool in 2007. He was a member of the Greater Manchester under-16 squad which won the English counties national championship in April 2009, playing in the final and defeating Essex at The Den. After two years with Blackpool's Centre of Excellence he signed a two-year scholarship with the youth team in May 2009. Kettings was added to Blackpool's Premier League squad in February 2011 and his first involvement with the first team came as an unused substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Aston Villa on 12 February. After his two-year scholarship he signed his first professional contract in June 2011, following Blackpool's relegation to the Championship.
He joined Championship rivals Birmingham City on loan on 26 August 2011, playing in all five under-18 league matches during his spell before he returned to Blackpool on 1 October 2011. Kettings then joined Northern Premier League Division One North club Woodley Sports on loan in November 2011. He made his debut on 12 November 2011 in a 3–0 defeat away to Salford City.

He made his debut on 11 February in a 2–1 defeat away to Bristol Rovers,with his home debut coming three days later in a 1–0 victory over Macclesfield Town. These proved to be his only appearances for Morecambe, meaning he finished the loan with two appearances.

He made his debut after Michael Ingham picked up an injury during the warm-up prior to York's 3–2 defeat at home to Bristol Rovers in an FA Cup first round replay on 19 November 2013.
