Youth career Foster played in the youth sectors of Hibernian and The Spartans in Edinburgh.
Club career For the 2022–23 season, he joined Scottish League One club Queen of the South, but didn't make any appearance for the club as he spent the next two seasons on loan playing in Lowland League, first with Edinburgh University and then with Bo'ness United.
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.Realitysarja toi skotlantilaisen Keir Fosterin SalPaan, joutsenlauma.fi, Tuukka Kahila, 12 April 2024 SalPa documented the sessions and later published a mini-documentary series, Unelma elää (eng.
