Playing career

Kelly is a product of Chester's youth system and made his Football League debut as a late substitute against Shrewsbury Town F.C. on 15 April 2007.

In September 2007, Kelly joined Conference North side Vauxhall Motors F.C. on loan to gain first-team experience.

He returned to Chester during the season and replaced Paul Butler at half-time in their 3–3 draw with Accrington Stanley F.C. on 5 January 2008, going on to play regularly in the closing stages of the season.

The following season brought 27 league appearances as Chester suffered relegation, with his first goal coming in a 2–1 win at Darlington F.C. on 25 November 2008.

He left the club in early 2010, as Chester were expelled from the Conference.

He joined Port Vale on trial in March 2010 and put in an impressive display in a 2–1 home win for the reserves over Burton Albion, [2] also managing to get onto the score sheet. The performance impressed Burton manager Paul Peschisolido enough to offer him a contract until the end of the season. Burton later announced that the deal could not be completed on the planned day. Kelly joined Welsh Premier League side Bala Town in July 2010, playing with them until he relocated to Australia and joined Shepparton United SC.

In July 2012 he joined South Melbourne FC as a mid-season signing [3] and managed to win the club's Golden Boot award that year playing as centre back. [4]

In October 2012 he returned to England signing for Halifax Town but returned to South Melbourne for the 2013 new season. Kelly missed the entire 2014 season due to a broken bone in his foot and left the club at the end of that year. [5]

Kelly joined Port Melbourne SC ahead of the 2015 season [6] where he was appointed captain. [7]

Following the 2016 season, Kelly joined National Premier Leagues Victoria 2 side Dandenong City SC [8]

He signed for Northern Premier League Division One West side City of Liverpool on a free transfer in August 2021. [9]

Personal life

His younger brother James is a former youth player with Bolton Wanderers [10] and is also currently his teammate at Dandenong City. [11]
