Ex-Blackpool and Bolton Wanderers man looking for new club following Birmingham City release

Ex-Blackpool man Keshi Anderson has departed Birmingham City.

Former Blackpool attacker Keshi Anderson is on the search for a new club just eight months on from enjoying League One success.

On Wednesday evening, it was announced that the 30-year-old’s contract with Birmingham City had been mutually terminated.

Anderson made the move to St Andrew’s back in 2023, and experienced both relegation and promotion with the Blues, scoring 10 goals and providing 10 assists in 92 appearances.

So far this term, he’s found the back of the net once in 19 Championship outings.

Announcing the news, the midlands club wrote: “Birmingham City can confirm that Keshi Anderson has left the club after his contract was terminated by mutual consent. The winger departs St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park after making 92 appearances for Blues across a two-and-a-half-year spell.

“Anderson arrived in B9 in July 2023 and played a key role in the Club’s record-breaking 2024-25 season, scoring nine goals and contributing eight assists in all competitions as Chris Davies' side were promoted back to the Championship.

“Everyone at Birmingham City would like to place on record their thanks to Keshi for his efforts while at the Club and wish him well for the future.”

Anderson’s senior career started with semi-professional side Barton Rovers - where he caught the eye of Crystal Palace.

The winger’s time at Selhurst Park didn’t produce a senior appearance, but he was able to pick up experience across several loan spells - with this including stints with Doncaster Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Northampton Town and Swindon Town.

After impressing the latter, the 30-year-old made the permanent move to the County Ground in 2018, and remained there for two years.

Despite winning the League Two title with the Robins, Anderson turned down a new deal with the club in order to join Blackpool.

Throughout his time in Tangerine, he scored nine goals and provided eight assists in 70 appearances, as well as being part of the 2021 League One play-off final victory over Lincoln City, before leaving for Birmingham following the Seasiders’ relegation from the Championship.
