Club career

[edit]

Born in London, Kelly was with Arsenal until the age of 16 when he joined Reading as a scholar in June 2006.[3][4] He finished the 2007–08 season with 27 appearances in the Reading reserves,[5] playing in the position of left back.[1] He featured for Reading on the bench in their opening game of the 2008–09 season, which they drew 0 – 0 with Nottingham Forest.[6] He made his debut for Reading in the League Cup against Dagenham & Redbridge.[7] He then made his league debut against Plymouth Argyle, playing in the right wing.[8] On 21 January 2009, Reading manager Steve Coppell confirmed that his most likely replacement for the suspended Liam Rosenior against Wolverhampton Wanderers would be Kelly.[9] He joined Wycombe Wanderers on an initial one-month emergency loan on 15 February 2010. On his debut for Wycombe Wanderers he scored from a cross for a 1–0 win over Millwall.[10] In January 2011 Kelly joined Lincoln City on loan making his debut on 15 January in a 2–1 home defeat by Wycombe Wanderers.[11]

On 1 June 2011, he signed a two-year contract with Notts County.[12] Kelly scored his first goal for Notts, a thunderous volley, in 3 – 2 win over Tranmere Rovers.[12] Similarly in 3–2 win against Scunthorpe United Kelly scored the winning the goal after an incisive pass from teammate Gavin Mahon. Kelly became a permanent fixture in Martin Allen's defence as Notts County climbed into the play-off positions midway through the season. In a 5–2 defeat to Sheffield United, Kelly came off the bench to score Notts' second goal.[13] Kelly finished the 2011–12 season making 34 appearances overall and scoring 3 goals.[14]

He made his first start of the 2012–13 campaign in a 2–1 win over Crewe Alexandra[15] and made a further 23 appearances before being released at the end of the season.[16][17]

In September 2013 he joined Grimsby Town on trial,[18] but failed to earn a contract.[19]

After a year out of the game, Kelly joined Northern Premier League Division One South side Spalding United in May 2014.[2][20] He was with the club only a short time before moving to divisional rivals Carlton Town.[21] In October 2014 he was on the move again, moving up a division to join Grantham Town.[22]
