Shaun Kelly (born 11 December 1988) is a professional footballer currently playing for South Melbourne SC. He has played in Australia with Shepparton United as well as in the English Football League with Chester City F.C., and various other English non-league sides.

Playing career

Kelly is a product of Chester's youth system and made his Football League debut as a late substitute against Shrewsbury Town F.C. on 15 April 2007.

In September 2007, Kelly joined Conference North side Vauxhall Motors F.C. on loan to gain first-team experience.

He returned to Chester during the season and replaced Paul Butler at half-time in their 3–3 draw with Accrington Stanley F.C. on 5 January 2008, going on to play regularly in the closing stages of the season.

The following season brought 27 league appearances as Chester suffered relegation, with his first goal coming in a 2–1 win at Darlington on 25 November 2008.

He left the club in early 2010, as Chester were expelled from the Conference

He joined Port Vale on trial in March 2010 and put in an impressive display in a 2-1 home win for the reserves over Burton Albion, also managing to get onto the score sheet. The performance impressed Burton manager Paul Peschisolido enough to offer him a contract until the end of the season. Burton later announced that the deal could not be completed on the planned day.Kelly joined Welsh Premier League side Bala Town in July 2010, playing with them until he relocated to Australia and joined Shepparton United SC.

In July 2012 he joined South Melbourne F.C.

In October 2012 he returned to England signing for Halifax Town and has now rejoined South Melbourne for their new season .His brother James is a first year Pro with Bolton Wanderers F.C.^[2]

Kelly has recently seen major success off the pitch and a possible money maker after his footballing career is over.^{[citation needed]} Kelly was said to have had the team in stitches with his flawless impersonation of Arnold Rimmer from the ever popular Red Dwarf franchise of the BBC.^{[citation needed]}
