Jake Kelly (born 21 January 1995) is a professional Australian rules football player who plays for the Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Kelly was drafted with pick 40 in the 2013 Rookie Draft, and is the son of former Collingwood player Craig Kelly.[1]
AFL career
Kelly spent his first season in Adelaide's reserves side and performed well, nullifying some of the competition's best forwards while averaging 16 possessions and leading the club in marks. He was second in the reserves club's best and fairest.[2] In early 2015, Kelly was elevated to the club's senior list, replacing the injured Brent Reilly.[3] He made his debut against Melbourne in round 3 of the season, laying 10 tackles in the match.[4] He went on to play the next nine matches in succession and was rewarded with a two-year senior contract from 2016.[2]
