Career

Keating played hurling at all grades as a student at Christian Brothers College in Cork.

At club level with Ballincollig, Keating has played as a dual player with the club's top adult teams.

Keating first appeared on the inter-county scene for Cork as a member of the minor team beaten by Limerick in the 2020 Munster MHC semi-final. He immediately progressed to the Cork under-20 team and won an All-Ireland U20HC title, albeit as a member of the extended panel, following a 4–19 to 2–14 defeat of Galway in the 2021 All-Ireland U20HC final. Keating claimed a second All-Ireland U20HC title in three seasons in his third and final year with the team in 2023.
