During the 2011 season Keedy was preferred to Kerrigan when Lancashire chose to play with one spinner in the County Championship. In August 2011 rumours emerged that Keedy had been approached by Warwickshire. In September, in the last match of the season Lancashire won the County Championship for the first time since they shared the title in 1950. Keedy finished as the team's leading wicket-taker in the competition, taking 61 wickets to help them to the title. The same month he agreed to sign a new contract with the club. Speaking on the matter later, Keedy remarked that he felt the offer adversely affected his form as it distracted from playing for Lancashire; to deal with this, he deferred acting on the offer until the end of the season. Although Warwickshire offered a pay rise, Keedy chose to remain with Lancashire, saying "Ultimately the decision was based on what I've done here for the last 17 years. It boiled down to the support network around me, including my family."
