He was later named in the team of the year.[10] He helped the club reach the 2021 FAI Cup Final where they eventually lost to his former club, St Patrick's Athletic.[11]
Rotherham United
In January 2022 he signed for EFL League One club Rotherham United.[12] On 30 April 2022, Kelly scored the second goal in a 2–0 win for Rotherham over Gillingham which secured promotion to the Championship, having come on as a substitute 10 minutes beforehand to make his first team debut.
