Whatever Happened To... Joe Keith
Joe Keith spent six seasons with Colchester United, and since being released by Phil Parkinson in the summer of 2005, has spent most of his career in or around East London.
He joined Leyton Orient straight after leaving the U's and spent a season and a half at Brisbane Road, making 60 appearances and scoring three goals. During this time he also spent a month on loan at Shrewsbury Town, making just two appearances.
In January 2007 he moved to Brentford, being signed by ex-U's teammate Scott Fitzgerald. His spell at Griffin Park was brief and he left in the summer having made 18 appearances, scoring two goals.
After being released by Brentford, he dropped into non-league football, joining AFC Hornchurch. A year later he joined Tilbury where he was an Isthmian League Cup winner in his first season and took on a role as player-coach in his second season. After two-years with the Dockers he made the move to East Thurrock United where he linked up with former West Ham United teammate Lee Hodges.
In November 2011 he left East Thurrock to join to Aveley, again following Hodges, who was appointed their manager. His time at Aveley was short-lived and he returned to East Thurrock before the end of the season.
Clubs since leaving the U's: Leyton Orient, Shrewsbury Town (loan), Brentford, AFC Hornchurch, Tilbury, East Thurrock United, Aveley.

What to read next:
Today Leeds announced that Red Bull have bought a minority stake in the club, and will take over as the main shirt sponsor, but thankfully there will be no change in the name of the club or the colour of the shirt.
The 49ers have plenty of cash available to invest in Leeds United, but defeat in the 49th game of the League season means that some key players will be leaving to keep the club with the Profitability and Sustainability (PSR) regulations.
****ing Southampton. Again. ****ing Adam Armstrong. Again. ****ing Play-offs. Again. Grrrrrr.

As you probably know already, our play-off final against with Southampton kicks off at 3pm on Sunday. And if you didn’t manage to get your hands on a ticket, it’s live on Sky Sports.
With our recent form being what it was, I was expecting a nervy encounter, with Leeds struggling to get through the Norwich City defence, but how wrong I was! Suddenly we recovered the swagger we have shown for much of the season, and not a moment too soon.
Many neutrals have complained on social media that yesterday’s game at Norwich City was a bit on the dull side, but the Leeds team wasn't set up to please them. For us it was the result that mattered, and it should leave us in a better position to get through to the final.
For the second time this season we are visiting Norwich City, this time for the play-off game at high noon on Sunday, and the kick-off time is of course thanks to our good friends at Sky Sports. You’ll find Carrow Road is about a mile to the south-east of the city centre.
If we were ever going to have a final day miracle we needed a much better performance than this final day showing against Southampton, so now we have to endure the agony of the play-offs yet again.
