McKeon
first arrived at Barrington Park under former manager Gareth Davies, who guided
the club to promotion to the Hellenic Premier Division, and he made a total of
11 appearances during the 2018/19 campaign, scoring 4 goals.
The
striker boasts an impressive playing career having started at Hartpury Academy
where he was crowned the `golden boot` winner in the England College League
before teaming up with Witney United, scoring 25 goals in 39 appearances.
Along
with a playing for Bishops Cleeve during his career, his connection to the
Freds saw him team up with manager Matt Biddle at Alfredian Park but following
the Covid situation which brought the campaign to an abrupt halt, McKeon is
itching for a return to the pitch.
He
told www.shrivenhamfc.co.uk: “I’ve been out running six days a week since
November and I’m feeling fitter than I was during my two-year spell at
Carterton a few years back [where he scored 18 goals in 19 appearances] and I’m
really motivated to get back on the pitch and score goals again.
“I
really enjoyed my spell on the management team at Wantage – there’s a lot of
additional commitment involved, but it was a fantastic experience nonetheless.
“To
go to Wantage in October 2019, who were rock bottom of the Southern League and
only keeping hold of a couple of players, there was a big re-building task
involved and I’m leaving having played a part in making them a very competitive
side – I’m sure they’ll be looking at a top ten finish next season”.
