Born in Castleconnell, County Limerick, Keane first played competitive hurling in various club tournament games in his youth. After a year in the United States he returned to Ireland and joined the Castleconnell club. After the club failed to field a championship team in 1918, Keane joined the Young Irelands club. He won county senior championship medals in 1920 and 1922, before ending his career with the newly-founded Ahane club.
Keane made his senior debut for Limerick in a tournament game in 1912 and quickly established himself as a regular member of the team. His partnership with Willie Hough and Dinny Lanigan in the half-back line became known as the Hindenburg Line of hurling. Over the course of a fifteen-year inter-county career he won All-Ireland medals in 1918 and 1921, as well as three Munster medals. Keane retired from inter-county hurling following Limerick's exit from the 1927 championship.
