He left having scored 67 goals in his 120 League and FA Cup games for the club. West Ham United Signed again by Fenton, Keeble moved to Upton Park in October 1957 for £10,000, joining a West Ham side that had earned 12 points from their first 12 Second Division games of 1957–58, with inside-forward John Dick yet to score in the League. They went on to form a partnership that produced a combined 40 goals. Keeble finished the season with 19 League goals in 29 games, which, along with Dick's 21, contributed to a first-place finish and promotion to the First Division. Keeble had made his debut for the Irons in a friendly fixture, a testimonial for Dick Walker against Sparta Rotterdam. He scored the first goal in a game that saw Dick score a hat-trick. He scored on his League debut, against Doncaster Rovers on 19 October 1957, and scored the first of three hat-tricks for West Ham on 16 November, against Stoke City. His partnership with Dick would yield 20 goals by Christmas Day and see the Hammers placed third in the league table. Consistent goalscoring from both players continued into the second half of the season, culminating in a crucial final game, against Middlesbrough, that saw the pair both cap their title-winning season with goals. The 1958–59 campaign saw Keeble score 21 top-flight goals, including four in a 6–3 win over Blackburn Rovers, even though he had missed the final two months of the season due to injury. West Ham finished sixth, at that point the club's highest ever finish.

His final game came against Leeds United on 16 January 1960. Keeble made a total of 84 League and FA Cup appearances for West Ham and scored 51 goals.
