Kiely is a native of Cork and played his rugby for University College Cork during his medical studies. He won five Ireland caps, debuting against Wales in the 1962 Five Nations, a delayed match which didn't take place until November due to a smallpox epidemic in Wales. His other international matches all came in the 1963 Five Nations.[1] He was a Munster representative player, as was his younger brother Paddy.[2]
A surgeon by profession, Kiely was an amateur golfer.[3][4]
