Career

Early career and Stevenage

Jellis began his career with Aylesbury United, making his first-team debut at the age of 16, scoring on his debut as a substitute in a 1–3 loss at Bedford Town. He made 10 appearances for Aylesbury before his 17th birthday and, following a brief spell with Tring Corinthians, signed for League Two side Stevenage in November 2017. [2] [3] Following a series of injuries, including a broken leg, Jellis had two successful loan spells in the early part of the 2019–20 season, at former club Aylesbury and Hitchin Town. [4] [5] On his return to Stevenage, he turned professional in January 2020. [5] Shortly after signing pro-terms at Stevenage, Jellis spent a month on loan at Wingate & Finchley. [6] [7] He was released by Stevenage in 2020. [2]

Return to non-league football

After leaving Stevenage he returned to Aylesbury for a third spell, before moving to Kings Langley in October 2021. [8] A brief spell at Hemel Hempstead Town followed in February 2022, before Jellis returned to Kings Langley for the start of the 2022–23 season. [3]

Later in 2022, Jellis joined Tamworth on loan for a month, before returning on loan again in February 2023. [9] He joined Tamworth permanently in the summer of 2023. Jellis was part of the Lambs side that won back-to-back league titles by securing the Southern League Premier Division Central title in 2023 [10] and the National League North title in 2024. [11]

Walsall

Jellis signed for Walsall in January 2024. [12] [13] Having suffered an injury whilst playing for Tamworth, [14] [15] in April 2024 he was said to be close to first-team action, [16] and he made his debut on 13 April 2024, appearing as a late substitute in a 1–3 home defeat to Notts County. [17] He scored his first goal in an EFL Cup tie against Exeter City in the 90th minute allowing Walsall to win on penalties. [18] He won League Two Goal of the month for October 2024 with a volley against Grimsby Town on 19 October in a 4–1 win for Walsall. [19]
