He kept bent nail? Yeah (3,5)

I believe the answer is:

ian healy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'he kept' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'bent nail? yeah' is the wordplay.
'bent' is an anagram indicator.
'nail'+'yeah'='nailyeah'
'nailyeah' with letters rearranged gives 'IAN HEALY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
