Career
Zeleny started his youth career at Sutherland Sharks, before moving onto PCYC Parramatta, as well as NSW Super League club Fraser Park, before signing with NSW Premier League club Sydney Olympic.[2]
In November 2011, it was announced Zeleny had traveled to India, and signed with I-League club Mohun Bagan A.C. for the 2011–12 I-League season, replacing fellow Australian and former A-League player Simon Storey.[3]
Zeleny made his debut for Mohun Bagan A.C. in the East Bengal derby against Kingfisher East Bengal F.C. in front of 100 000 spectators.[4] Zeleny received widespread praise for his standout performance in his first game for Mohun Bagan A.C., and would remain undefeated against Kingfisher East Bengal F.C. for the remainder of his tenure at Mohun Bagan A.C., earning the moniker of "Mr. Derby" amongst the supporters for his impressive performances and undefeated record against fiercest rivals Kingfisher East Bengal F.C.[5]
In March 2012, Zeleny signed for Gresik United in the Indonesia Super League.[6]
Zeleny moved to Kaya F.C. in the UFL Division 1 for the 2013 season, under the tutelage of fellow Australian, David Perkovic. [7] On April 11, 2013, Zeleny added to his reputation of being a "big-game player", as Kaya F.C. defeated rivals Global F.C. in a memorable game, that saw Kaya F.C. fight back from being 2-0 down, to win 3-2. This marked Kaya F.C.'s first win against Global F.C. in the clubs history, and the first time Global F.C. had lost, since February 2012. [8]
