Shay Kelly, born in Scotland on the 25th of February 2007, currently aged 18, is known for his abilities as a goalkeeper. Towering at 1.88m (approximately 6ft 2in), and having a weight of around 77kg (or 12st 1lb), he brings a daunting presence to the pitch. Fans would spot him donned in the number 31 jersey.
In the summer of 2022, Kelly took a significant step in his career as he joined St Mirren, a team competing in Scotland's Premiership. This was a critical point in Kelly's career, giving him exposure to football at a higher level, surrounded by experienced and highly skilled professionals.
However, in February 2025, the call came from Dumbarton, a team in Scotland's League One. Kelly's transfer from St Mirren was arranged as a loan. Moving to a different league with different demands, this loan to Dumbarton is seen as an important development for Kelly's overall growth as a goalkeeper.
