Playing career

Kelly first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Kilkenny minor team in 2006. He won a Leinster medal that year as a non-playing substitute following a heavy 4–22 to 1–5 defeat of Carlow.[2]
Three years later and Kelly was a key member of the Kilkenny under-21 team. He won a Leinster medal that year as a brace of Jonjo Farrell goals helped Kilkenny to a 2–20 to 1–19 defeat of Dublin.[3] Clare later faced Kilkenny in their first ever All-Ireland clash. A late point from midfielder Cormac O'Donovan gave Clare a narrow 0–15 to 0–14 victory.[4]
Kelly was added to the extended panel of the senior team in 2012, however, he played no part in Kilkenny's successful All-Ireland campaign.[5][6]
In 2014 Kelly won his first National Hurling League medal as Kilkenny secured a narrow one-point 2–25 to 1–27 extra-time victory over Tipperary.[7] He later scored two goals on his championship debut on 7 June 2014 in a 5-32 to 1-18 Leinster quarter-final defeat of Offaly.[8] Kelly was later confined to the substitutes' bench for Kilkenny's subsequent Leinster and All-Ireland victories.[9][10][11]
Kelly won his first Leinster medal on the field of play in 2015 following a 1-25 to 2-15 defeat of Galway in the provincial decider.[12]
