Keiren Westwood (born 23 October 1984) is a professional footballer and coach who plays as a goalkeeper for Crewe Alexandra.

Despite Sunderland struggling for results, which saw Steve Bruce sacked on 30 November, Westwood remained in good form.

However, after missing Sunderland's 1–0 victory over Manchester City on New Year's Day 2012, Westwood found himself second choice to Mignolet for the remainder of the season.

Following Mignolet's departure to Liverpool at the end of the season, Westwood regained his place as Sunderland's first choice keeper, with competition now coming from Vito Mannone.

[16][17] On 8 February 2024, Westwood joined EFL League Two side Crewe Alexandra on a short-term contract as cover for injured first choice keeper Tom Booth.

[18] Westwood was eligible to represent his native England and the Republic of Ireland because his grandparents had emigrated to Manchester from Wexford.

[19] On 17 May 2009, Westwood was called up by the Republic of Ireland to attend their training camp in Portugal[20] after impressing against Leeds United in a League One match.

Three days later he played as a second-half substitute in a practice match against Portuguese club Lagos, replacing Joe Murphy after 66 minutes.

He played at the 2016 UEFA European Championship, where he helped the national team to reach the knockout phase of the tournament for the first time.
