The pair featured in both of the Iron's pre-season games in the Republic of Ireland, though they were left out of the Lincolnshire Senior Cup loss to Grimsby. The club were required to sign players on non-contract terms in order to be eligible for that game.

Keegan, who previously spent time on trial at Southampton, spent last season playing for Monaghan United in the Irish league.
