Keane already holds a UEFA A licence and has been based in India since moving to the club last year. He has been in impressive form for the club lately, including a recent brace.
ATK have not enjoyed a successful season as they failed to make the semifinals for the first time ever. They are currently in the eighth spot on the table.
