Keir Foster (born 18 October 2004) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Ykkösliiga club Salon Palloilijat (SalPa).
In January 2024, Foster attended an exhibition game and training session in London with about 25 players, arranged by Finnish club SalPa. The club's aim was to look for young British talent to strengthen their team, and to offer a professional contract to one. Eventually, Foster was invited to Finland and offered a one-year professional contract with a one-year option.[1] SalPa documented the sessions and later published a mini-documentary series, Unelma elää (eng. The Dream is Alive), about the recruiting process.[2][3][4]
On 28 April 2024, in his fourth Ykkösliiga match with SalPa, Foster scored a hat-trick in a 5–0 home win over MP.[5]
