Career

Kellaway was born in Dorchester, England, but grew up in Lampeter, Welsh , and played in the youth division of Aberystwyth Town . About the reserve team from Aberystwyth, with whom he won the championship in the Mid Wales Football League in 2004 and 2005 , and a season at second division Penrhyncoch FC , Kellaway made the final leap to the first team of Aberystwyth Town in 2006, in which he was already in the season Made its debut in 2003/04. From 2003 to 2010 Kellaway played a total of 114 appearances for Aberystwyth in the Welsh Premier League , scoring 24 goals. He had his most successful season in 2009/10 when he scored nine goals this season and was voted into the "Team of the Season". He was closest to winning a national title during this time in 2009, but in the final of the Welsh Cup he and his team lost 2-0 to Bangor City . Kellaway's main job is as a plumber .

In mid-2010 he and his two teammates Jamie Reed and Luke Sherbon went to Australia for a two-month stint in the Victorian Premier League at Dandenong Thunder . A few weeks after his arrival, his performance against the professional team Melbourne Victory attracted the attention of those responsible for his performance and, after a successful trial training session, received a three-month contract to replace the injured Matthew Kemp . He made his A-League debut as a substitute for North Queensland Fury , becoming the 500th player in A-League history. In the 2-2 draw he was awarded a penalty, which Kevin Muscat converted to a 2-1 lead. In the following months Kellaway came to eight more league appearances, his only appearance in the starting line-up he had on matchday 3 in a 3-0 win against eventual champions Brisbane Roar , but was substituted at halftime when the score was 0-0. After he was last used for the professional team in October 2010, 14 missions for the youth team in the National Youth League followed in the following months .

At the end of the season, Kellaway received no new contract and returned to Wales, where he again joined Aberystwyth Town. Shortly after his return to Wales, he faced a court case for slapping a nightclub owner in the face while drunk in July 2011. Kellaway received a 12 month suspended sentence and a low fine. In June 2012, Kellaway moved to league rivals AFC Llanelli , he made his competitive debut for the club in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League against Finnish representative Kuopion PS , which was also his first appearance in a European competition. In January 2013, he moved within the league to Carmarthen Town before returning to Aberystwyth six months later.
