PLAYER BIO
The 17-year-old attacker, who was one of the standout performers in youth football in 2018, enjoyed an outstanding first season in the SSE Airtricity League, bagging 30 goals for United’s under-17 team in just 25 appearances.
Kelly, who lead the way in terms of goalscoring in underage football in the SSE Airtricity League, made his senior debut as a 16-year-old away to Finn Harps. He would go on to make two further appearances under Alan Murphy against Wexford FC and Shelbourne.
Kelly also fired Connacht Schools to the Interprovincial title in November, topping the goalscoring charts once again with four goals in three matches.
He opened his United account on the opening day of the 2019 season with a spectacular effort from 40 yards.
